    I have moved into a new place and am excited to fix the existing garden and expand. In bringing back to life our new garden I have been tending what I thought was a Saskatoon bush only to find the berries are red and somewhat translucent. Any info on what this may be? Edible or non? I can post pics if needed.

    Translucent sounds like Lonicera.

    Yes, perhaps Lonicera tatarica

    Yes :) Thank-you that is what it is and explains why the aphids love it so much. One mystery solved, many thanks.
