I have raspberries, redcurrants, strawberries and soon will have blueberries.  Are there any other shrub type fruit that tastes yummy?

Black currants, Blackberries.

Gojo berries - or whatever they are called!

Plus additional varieties of Raspberries & Strawberries to extend the season.

Goji berries, great idea, if you have five or six years to wait for a crop!

I have 3 Xenia dessert gooseberries and they are very nice.  :tongue2:

I am planning on growing Gaultheria shallon but can't actually recommend it yet, I just fancy growing something no-one else realises is edible!

I also have a Japanese Wineberry waiting to go in, which I can recommend, it has little sticky berries a bit like raspberries.

Even then you get a minuscule crop I think?  But supposed to be very good for you, I know that 'cause it said so on the Telly!

Dunno if it qualifies as a "fruit bush", but Apples etc. are available on dwarf rooting stocks, or could be grown along the edge of the fruit area and trained as "step over" (a single tier "Espallier")

Don't care for gooseberrys myself.

But blackberrys and loganberry are great as they need next to no care, and grow like weeds with loads of fruit.
Sometimes my plants grow despite, not because of, what I do to them.
