What is this?
The flowers and berries look a little like very large fuchsia flowers. The shrub is a couple of metres high, and although it must have been in the garden for years, only blossomed like this after I removed another very vigorous shrub from around it. Can anyone help me please

Also when i ask an id call chocolate vine,its only toruble i found is i only got flowers for 3 weeks ,maybe because it was our first year with it as we inherited it with our move last year, don't know wether to chop or keep
Alan is that chocolate vine as in Akebia quinata? I can't tell from the photo.
LOTS of leaves, not a lot of flowers and swamps everything in my experience
