Chilli Plant/Tomato Plant Cross?

svalli · July 17, 2007

I have all sorts of solanums growing wild on our yard, garden and flower beds. I have seen such flowers, berries and leaves, but not exactly all of them same in one plant as in the picture. Still I think that this is one of the wild solanum species and not a chiltomato.

I grew couple of years ago a similar looking plant called Garden Huckleberry, but I did not like the taste and since they looked so much like the wild ones growing as weeds in the garden, I decided not to eat them since I could not be sure, which of the berries could be poisonous.
