Default wine berry

the sculptor writes

Hmmmm thanks for that Jenny but my berries dont look anything like
that, they are more like a blackberry but very red.......wonder what I
have got then, lol


Tayberry, Sunberry, loganberry ....

One characteristic of wineberry is that the inside of the calyces are
bright orange, so once you have picked the red fruit, you have this
decorative orange star.

Actually, that picture on the site jenny found is rubbish - looks more
like a redcurrant! (The description is OK)

Try this one:

planted now for two years and only had five fruits from it and it looks
sick as a dog in comparison to other wine berries I have seen. Any
advice would be gratfuly received. many thanks in advance The
