this is the 5th and final one..

Thanks for looking and potentially helping

It is no fruit that I know

The last one looks to me like a member of the honeysuckle family. It could be a honeyberry if the fruit is blue and bell shaped. If not, don't eat them.

Found out the last one is blueberries, turns out the guy who planted them is on the plot behind me lol

Correct guesses on the rest of them though!! Well done and thank you

Quiz time

1. I'd veer towards apple. But could be crab apple or pear I suppose
2 & 3. Currant or currant/gooseberry hybrid.
4. Gooseberry


Not a clue on 5.

You have what may be Currant Blister Aphid showing on image4

Whats the best way to deal with that? remove damaged leaves or something more sinister?

Hi,

Generally it doesn't badly affect the bush, so treatment isn't essential. If you have just a few leaves affected you could pick them off.

If you have a badly affected bush, you could apply a plant oil winter wash at the end of the year (Dec) to reduce overwintering eggs. Or wait until next spring and spray shortly after bud burst with a contact bug killer to deal with next year's newly-hatched aphids.

ok thats brilliant, I missed your comment initially but just had a quick google and will leave them for this year and treat in winter and spring to hopefully clear any issues...


Thanks again
Damian

That doesn't look like any of my blueberry bushes...

[Baldy]

5 Doesn't look like my blueberries either,
looks more like honeyberry:
About Honeyberry Shrub and Fruit
though some say they taste 'like' blueberry...
as mentioned its best to be sure it is a honeyberry before you eat the fruit
