    I agree with all the above and suspect it is a natural cross, probably more towards the jostaberry (I have worcesterberry and they are much more like a gooseberry than a blackcurrant.)  Perfectly safe and well worth digging it out and replanting somewhere more appropriate - do that after the leaves fall and it goes dormant.   The fruit should really show its worth when cooked and a jam would likely be delicious! image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • Hi

    My goosberry starts off green then turns black.

    But I have it planted next to a blackcurrant bush and they are very similar but bigger fruit.

    I had a redcurrant and that as now turned to a blackcurrant lol such a convert the blackcurrant
