I informed/educated him- but what kind of seed company would sell this invasive and potentially dangerous thing under the false name of "Grapevine"?I have been fighting this plant in my raspberries for years. I'm wondering how dangerous they are since I have a 3 year old and children frequently visit my raspberry patch.
Ingestion of unripened berries should be considered a medical emergency. Easy to rip out, but keeps coming back.Tried using 20% white vinegar on it, and it didn't even faze it. I have a bunch growing in a wood pile by our fence
Bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara) takes after plants like belladonna, a notoriously toxic relation. They found bittersweet nightshade berry seeds in the stomachs of 4 cardinals. It is rather pretty!
I pulled it but I know there are several more in the area. A few times a year we pull these suckers and fill the back of a pickup overflowing. Ripped it out yesterday b/c it was ugly, but now I'm glad to at least know what it is. Go ahead and burn.I have something like this in my backyard with black berries. Bittersweet nightshade is not on the Washington State Noxious Weed List and property owners are not required to control this plant. This is growing all over our yard by our fence, in Cottage Grove.. It will take over everything else. Very pretty plant, though, and if it's not that poisonous, then I wouldn't want to rip it out.
I am contantly pulling it, as I don't like using herbicides. Encouraged owners to pull up.I have been seeing the red berries along the fence we share with neighbors, hadn't seen the flowers until this summer. Call poison control and tell them you accidentally ate that. It is so unique and beautiful, too bad it is invasive! I am checking with an extension agent to see what we can do to control this stuff!!! this plant cross pollinated with my tomato plants i didn't know about it until eating one of the reached tomatos they made me vomit followed buy terrible vertigo just cut down bitter night shade that was taking over my clamatis trellisI'd like to point out that this is NOT deadly nightshade. Keep some homeopathic belladona around in case it happens again, it is hard to pull all the nightshade.
rant over Like the deadly nightshade, the bittersweet nightshade belongs to the plant family known as the Solanaceae. Comments are moderated and will be posted after BBG staff review. Thank you!
I ate the same berries as a child. I found it a few weeks ago along my relative's fence line in Richfield. Damn near filled a 90 gallon garbage can with its weeds and roots. Follow her weedy plant adventures on I love reading about the weed of the month, and I have a weed that I see everywhere (I have a photo of it in Prospect Park) and around this time of year the bolted stalks and the seeds that cover them are a deep reddish brown. I've always just thrown the whole thing into the fire, but if that's going to help it sprout up new plants I'd like to know.We had an area of our woods harvested last winter, 2017, and now have found this plant. We just found some of this plant in our yard. However, in King County, it is classified as a Weed of Concern and control is recommended, especially in natural areas that are being restored to native vegetation and along stream banks where nightshade can interfere with fish habitat.For more information about noxious weed regulations and definitions, see N… We just moved into our house a week ago and noticed this bastard growing everywhere. ER, hallucinations, feeling very high.
