Hello, I was hoping some one could help me identify this fruit plant. There are little cherry-like fruits growing. On the inside of them are several little seeds with a clear watery type liquid. I'm guessing some type of cherry tree, but just don't know. Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you, RJ
Yes, Solanum sect. Solanum, or the Solanum nigrum complex. Several similar species, very hard to tell the difference. I would avoid putting a specific species tag on this one because some of these are edible/medicinal at certain stages of growth and toxic at other stages. Other similar looking species are very deadly like Eric mentioned, and so to use the wrong tag could reallly harm someone far down the line. Here is a good info sheet on them. Beautiful plant, I'm a huge Solanum fan. :)
Thank you guys for your help. I'll pass it on to my friend and let her know about its toxicity. Cheers!
