Yeah, mine looks like, that but the berries are darker (as in, I think they
start out darker, they never seem to be that green)

That looks quite ornamental. I might get away with one of them in the
garden rather than on the plot!


it's quite a pretty bush, and the berries are pretty with a little star on
their bottoms, too. the shape reminds me a bit of a bay.

If the birds eat it then that's a good sign?


Good sign of what? that you won't get many berries? :-P



Birds always eat the nice things...
I'm happy to share if there's a lot... Otherwise it's a fight to the
erm feathers.


Having seen a gang of magpies picking on a fox first thing I won't be
fighting them!
