I transplanted 3 of these a few years back thinking they were baby Viburnum trilobum. Now I'm wondering if they are red currants?? Can I eat these?? Close up The bugs have eaten them to bare sticks the past 2 years, but they return each spring bushier than ever.
They certainly look like red gooseberries to me Netty - aren't you lucky to have them growing in your garden? I only have the 'white' ones and they look exactly like yours.
It looks exactly like the currant bush that I have in my backyard. Only there are no berries left on mine because my 2 oldest boys clean them off as soon as they ripen. Ugh! I pucker just thinking about it.
