I have a shrub I cannot identify:- It is arching in growth, long narrow leaves, with a thorn underneath. Mauve potato-like flowers and orange/red berries that were eaten as soon as they were ripe. Similar to Berberis but I know most of these have yellow flowers. Any ideas?

Fascinating - I love this game. Where does it grow so well? ie what is its microenviro -hot, shady ? i am tempted to guess it is might be a Salt Bush or evena Russian Almond, tho' latter's flowers are more pink than purple. I am hazarding a guess even though I will readily admit I have no idea what a flowering potato looks like.

Could you give me the Salt Bush's botanical name ? Definitely not a russian almond. Do you know what a tomato flower looks like? The same as my shrub only mauve. The berry is mushy, so will try and save some seeds.
