Fuchsia berries are edible according to James Wong's new book "Homegrown Revolution".
All berries are edible but some varieties are tastier than others.
I do have a space for a pot with a fuchsia in that gets a reasonable amount of sun. Unfortunately they are moisture lovers so that means lots of watering and I am trying to use less water in the garden. (My mother used to bring her fuchsia indoors every day in hot weather and soak the pot in the sink.) I think I will leave it to fate. If I find a bush of one the varieties James mentions then I'll get it.
I will be able to try the berries - my neighbour has a bush in her front garden and I am sure she won't mind if I ask. [Today I looked at my neighbour's fuchsia - full of flowers and no sign of berries!]
