TWIG:
It's a twig!

Try to hold back your excitement, I know I have. I bought this twig from a supermarket two years ago, it bursts in to leaf in summer and they fall off in winter, to be honest I've been waiting for it to die so I can use the pot again.

I can't remember what it's actually meant to be, possibly a red current, or a black current, or was it a loganberry, heck, no Idea. You've seen those lovely pictures of a very upright single stem fruit laden mini tree . . . well this is mine, and it's not given me anything other that backache moving it around. Hmm, just thought, perhaps it's the bamboo cane I'm growing! Anyway, last chance twiggy.

My my Twig, how you've blossomed.
It's a berry of some type judging by the swelling flower, I recon a Blackberry.

Or a raspberry? there's just a hint of red.

Twig gives birth and now we know . . .
 

    
It's a raspberry.

At last, it's taken two years from when I planted the mystery stick in a pot, I knew it was a fruit, I just couldn't remember what.

Diligently I've been cutting of the side shoots, forcing it to grow upward, it never really took shape but now my efforts have been rewarded.

Can I eat it?

Oh Yes.
