        I've got one bush growing in a hedge that has a very sparse crop of berries. When I checked out if they were edible it appeared to be yes, but not worth bothering with and best left for the birds.

              flowering currant (Ribes Sanguineum) has always been one of my all time fav's, and i love the smell, its very blackcurrant-y even the leaves :wub2:
