I just spent some time feasting on the berries of this mystery plant in my front yard. They are so good, so, what are they? (#1)
Wiki says they're rare in Germany, even though they were developed here in the 70s (hint: hybrid). They are even rarer outside of Germany. So does anyone know what these are? They taste so good!___
Outside my kitchen window I see the blackbirds feasting on this particular tree. My mother in law says the berries are edible. I ate a few and gave some to my man too, with no snake tempting me. Since I already have the knowledge of good and evil, I sensed nothing as I ate them. I remember seeing these in Seattle last year, so maybe you know what they are. (#2)
The tree has lovely white blossoms in Spring. I enjoy watching the birds eating off of it every day. Have at it, but stay away from my...___
Uh...what are these called?
They were developed in Scotland in the 60s and are a hybrid of blackberry and raspberry. I can live with these! (Although the blackberries and raspberries on our hang have to go!)They are growing on the south-facing wall of our house. I need to get them before the birds do. (#3)
I know the answers now but I am curious what you think, and where each of these might grow in America.
My man is convinced that I will die someday by eating unknown berries/plants. I feel I'm pretty careful about it. I never could get him to try a huckleberry or salmonberry back home.

first ones are currents i believe. dont know the second bunch. do they drink Snake Bites where you are? Lager, hard cider, with current syrup. very good.
Oh! You're so lucky to have all those berries growing wild there at your house. It's funny how all the PNW folks hate the wild blackberries, but our grocery stores in New Mexico sell them for $4.00 a pint. lol!
My guess would have blueberries for the first one. I've never seen currants, so I can't guess on that berry.
Enjoy!

I am one of those people that would die from eating berries picked in the yard instead of enjoying a tasty treat! Those raspberry hybrids look very tasty though so I would probably go for it anyway!
oh, salmonberries and huckleberries, YUM!!!! i don't know, what is the first one?

the raspberry hybrids are Tayberries. I think they're wonderful, but I am completely unable to spend money to buy a bush that's related to blackberries!
We don't hate blackberries, BTW. Just the plants. The berries themselves, I pick and eat by the gallon, and make pies and jams too. Oh, yes, just a few more weeks. I scouted a new blackberry bush site last week, now they just gotta get ripe!
amy, the first ones are a currant hybrid called josta.
lisa, bloody weather - it's too hot for me to go out and pick them now! isn't that ridiculous?
melissa, they are my favorites too: )
merri, i guess the first one (josta) doesn't exist in america?
aarene, you've heard of them! in seattle they have loganberries which are related i guess. pay money, ha, i saw blackberries for sale at the nursery. good heavens, i could be rich! but i may have to bake a pie this year.
