help identifying mystery fruit/berry

HI everyone

I have taken over a half plot which has been abandoned for 2 years. Can you help me identify this plant please? There are several in containers along side the raspberry canes, so I am assuming it is some sort of berry.

Could anyone give me some advice on identifying it, and how to care and cultivate it please?

Many Thanks

Sue

Hmmm, doesn't look like any of my blueberries. There seems to be thorns on the stems.

any chance of a closer picture?

I think Willy Wonka had these. It's a SNOZZBERRY

Can I throw in another possibility - perhaps a jostaberry , which is a cross between a blackcurrant and gooseberry. I don't have one myself although I am keen to get one (need to find somewhere to shoehorn one in first! ). So I don't know if they are thorned or not.

Looks like a blueberry to me. Blueberries often have die-back on small twigs which can look similar to thorns.

Thanks everyone

Rain stopped play today, so I've not had a chance to take a better picture, but I don't recall any thorns (just die back) and the flowers do look similar to those posted.

I think the yellowing leaves is due to the fact that the poor things have been neglected. The one bush that's in the ground is choked with docks and course grass and those that have been left in containers are so pot bound I can't get them out or even move them.

Assuming that they are blueberries, How do I revive them? I'm not bothered about cropping this year, I just want to get them healthy if possible

Cheers

Sunny's right about the dead stems. they will probably be grey and very brittle and can be removed - blueberries aren't usually pruned at the size yours are and you have to be careful because they fruit on old wood.

A good RHS article HERE about blueberry care in general, although it doesn't mention blueberry-obsessed blackbirds which Sunny is definitely also dead right about!
