@GardenerSuze We put ours in as small plants several years ago, and they've had an abundance of berries each year. Admittedly, the first year we had them, my wife decided that it would be best to prune them hard, and we had less blossom (fewer flowers), and thus, fewer berries the following year, but since then, I've persuaded her to be more gentle with them.
This year seems to have fewer berries than last year, but I think it may look more, once the leaves have dropped.
I put two plants in - and own up to not spacing them as recommended. They shouldn't be as close together as they are. Here's a photo from just now.
Here's another photo from early October 2019, and another from mid November, the same year.
@rowlandscastle444 Thankyou for your help. I have worked in more than one garden in the past where this has happened. I did wonder if the soil was too wet in winter. Good to see that they can be grown successfully. I love this thread will tell my bro who is a photographer to take a look.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

Be patient, and you should get berries.
