Does anyone have any idea what this is? Sorry about poor picture quality.

I think you're right. It gets the same blooms as some of the pictures I've seen.

I guess not bunny safe, but it is human safe?

the leaves & twigs are good for bunnies but apparently only at certain time of the year...probably soon.

Thanks. I shall do some research later on the laptop to see what I can find.

if anyone thinks it may be something else, please let me know :) x

I think it's definitely some sort of Prunus. From the pics I'd say that the fruit is too large for a Sloe, so I'd go for what we call Hedge Plum. It could also be Bullace. So no, not rabbit safe, but yes to human safe (plums may be a bit sour) in either case.

Thanks Omi. The fruits reminded me of large blueberries :oops:
So far all the suggestions have been human safe so later I'll go give them a try.

They look like sloe to me - just shows how much I know - I'd have tried to make sloe gin with them.

They might be Sloes, but they would be large ones imo. They are all close cousins anyway and I think you could make Sloe Gin with any of them quite successfully :)
 
Well it would've been 'Prunus' Gin instead, but I'm sure it would've hit the spot in just the same way ;)

Sloe is also a Prunus (Prunus Spinosa) :) They are all members of the Prunus family. So I suppose if it was made with any of them it could be called Prunus Gin :lol:

I think that is probably the sort of Gin they drank in the staff common room at Hogwarts :)
