gooseberry bush
Prickly berry shrub
A gooseberry bush is a thorny shrub that produces small, tart berries used in jams and desserts.
In British folk tradition, children are told babies come from under the gooseberry bush—a euphemism for explaining birth, similar to the American stork story: Where do babies come from? The gooseberry bush, of course.
