If it has brilliant orange flowers in the spring and has wicked thorns, then it's a berberis (Berberis Darwinii) and the berries are edible.
I wouldn't grow it for it's berries though as they are not the tastiest in the world, but sweet enough, but more often grown as a hedge ... because of the thorns.

oh yes thats it ... thankyou so much ... will try the berries that are reachable ...
