My neighours have a very overgrown garden which was starting to come over into mine. While cutting back the lilac and the other climber I discovered some kind of fruit bush. It is very spiny and has blackberry sized fruits on which seem to be turning red but the leaves are not like any other fruit bush I have seen, they have 5 points to each leaf. Anyone any ideas from my vague description? If anyone can tell me how to post pics I will give it a go

Are the fruits longer than a blackberry, it could be a Tayberry, their fruits are oval rather than round, its a cross between a blackberyy and a raspberry Very Happy
