Thanks for your reply. One thing I forgot to say was picture 1 (Lonicera
nitida) comes out in white/pink berries. Is this still correct.


Ah! Just had another look at the picture - it's not terribly clear, but
pink/white berries suggests that it is probably Symphoricarpus then, not
Lonicera.


What about pernettya? It has leavse which are rather like a pointed L
nitida - about the same size, and the same dark leathery green.
Symphoricarpus has round, much more delicate lighter green leaves.
Pernettya berries are about pea size, Symphoricarpus are more marble
sized.
