Help me identify this plant with a surprise berry! @awomanonabike do we have a match🤔😀Also, do I have a honeysuckle? I never thought to ask which hedge I have.

That looks like Lonicera Nitida and the berry is just the same as on mine. 💜💜💜 Hard to believe but they are in the same family as the honeysuckle we know and love 😊

Brilliant thanks 😀 I didn’t realise there would eventually be berries! I think this hedge is about 10 years old. @awomanonabike

I have several and they'll be a lot older but I'd never noticed any berries before. I wonder if it is GT just making me look more closely at plants 🤔

My littleun actually spotted it as he was walking by as it’s at his height 🤗

Wow it must get lots eventually, they’re very pretty berries, but just a few at mo. There’s an apple tree a few feet away from it outside of mine. What a fine mess the both of them together might be one day🙈 @broughgardens
