Fruit bushes. Can you identify these?

Rub the branches and sniff your hands! Do they smell of blackcurrants?
Otherwise, I haven't a clue and you'll need to wait until the leaves appear.

yups we can't sniff online

. If it is blackcurrant, looks as though big bud might be present?

No idea!...but maybe as far as pruning goes..."if in doubt, do nowt " comes to mind!

...well, until you know exactly what they are!

As an after thought...maybe the guys on the plots next to you will know- there must be very few lot holders who have not had a good old nosey at their neighbours plots

Thanks all, I'll give them a sniff when I'm next there!

Otherwise it'll be a case of wait and see I suppose!

Good idea Nicos, I'll definitely ask if I ever see anyone haha

Yep, look like rather large buds for a blackcurrant at this time of year, but the wood looks like a blackcurrant.

Looks a bit like redcurrant to me.
