We've just been given 2 gooseberry / blackberry cross plants from one of our neighbours on the allotment, she had about 7 of them and wanted to thin them out to get some other varieties of fruit into her plot, so offered us 2 of them for nowt! Has anyone ever heard of this type of plant before? Does it have a proper name, or are we having ur legs pulled here? 
Apparently they are fairly bushy, have gooseberry type spikes, fruit fairly heavily with a gooseberry shaped red/black fruit which is very sweet and tasty! They are just going dormant now, so wont have any idea what the fruit will be like until they fruit up next year, so its going to be a long wait till then and I thought some of you may have some ideas or experience that you wouldnt mind sharing!
We've planted them in our bottom raised bed, where they will be incorporated into a fedge with some brambles, some more rasps (
) , a loganberry and some gooseberries (when we finally get round to ordering some goosegogs!)
