Identify this plant

Hello all,

I wonder if you clever people know what this plant is.  It started to grow in my garden last year.  I can tell you that it has a woody stem and is deciduous.

I'd say currant of some type.

It hasn't flowered yet or had any fruit, but this is possibly because it only started to grow last year.  Is it likely to flower at this time of year?

I've not smelt the leaves yet, I will do this asap.

I had a sniff and it smells definitely, reminds me a bit of tomato plants and that kind of smell.  Hope that helps.  It looks like it may be possibly budding too under the leaves.

Thanks for the help.  I'll let you know what they look like when they flower.

Our blackcurrant looked like that 4 years ago when we found it growing at the side of the old patio.  It didn't flower for the first 2 years, but now I get loads of blackcurrants off it!!!!!

I hope it is.  Do they mind being moved?  I'd like to take it up the allotment if it is a blackcurrant plant.  Keep with all my other fruit plants.

Its very exciting getting free fruit.  I found some little wild/alpine strawberries two years ago and put them in a better place.  I have a feeling someone was a veggie gardener at some time at my house, I only moved in about two years ago.

Yep, blackcurrant. I have one in my back garden and one in the allotment. I knew it as soon as I saw the leaves. The flowers are nothing spectacular. You can see the flowers on the light green bit in the middle.



Although those flowers are picked off now to develop the plant and its roots. That picture is about 2 weeks old.
