Just reading something about how good they are for you (My OH
automatically assumes they taste horrid in that case!)

Also known as the black chokeberry - I'm assuming it'll be available
for sale somewhere as a plant rather than just the fruit.

(Article in Daily Wail said it's ideal for scotland as it needs damp
and mild conditions)

They're not very nice to eat, but they make godo jam mixed with something
else, such as blackcurrants.

I have one I bought in 50p bin at Wilkinsons. Had no idea what it was at
the time, but it's been a good cropper since.

I can send you a cutting in the autumn if you want one, although I've never
tried propogating it before, so I have no idea how good they are at taking
(it looks like a currant, but I may be fooling myself that it will take as
easily)

It's a well known fact that all medicine tastes bad.
If it doesn't taste bad it's no good.
The badder it tastes the better it is.
My granny told me this.

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

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

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)

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.

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!

Birds seem to like rowan berries, cotoneaster berries, etc. They eat every berberis berry off my bush before the ripen. They also happily eat satan-strength chillies. So, not necessarily, is the answer to that.
