Bittersweet nightshade
Bittersweet is a semi-woody herbaceous perennial vine, which scrambles over other plants, capable of reaching a height of 4m where suitable support is available, but more often 1–2m high. The leaves are 4–12cm long, roughly arrowhead-shaped, and often lobed at the base. The flowers are in loose clusters of 3–20, 1–1.5cm across, star-shaped, with five purple petals and yellow stamens and style pointing forward. The fruit is an ovoid red berry about 1 cm long, soft and juicy, with the aspect and odour of a tiny tomato, and edible for some birds, which disperse the seeds widely.However, the berry is poisonous to humans and livestock, and the berry's attractive and familiar look make it dangerous for children.
