Hello everyone. Does anyone know what this plant is. It is growing at bottom of our garden and as you can see some branches are quite long.
It does have thorny stems and looks lovely with its red berries.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  • Thank you so much. It will not be going anywhere, I really like it.
  • Insects love the flowers and birds love the berries.  At our last place our neighbour had a large one alongside our shared path ... one winter it was visited by a flock of waxwings who stripped it of its berries ... we were able to watch them from our bed!  :)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • I am pleased to know that the birds will love the berries, thanks for that dove. It is a very handsome shrub :)
  • I’ve got 3 dotted about my garden, each with different coloured berries. One red, one orange and a yellow one.  I love them but hate pruning them !
