Green, yellow, red: woody nightshade

Green, yellow, red: woody nightshade

Bright colours on the ripening fruit (or are they berries?) of this woody nightshade. Sometimes also called bittersweet, but don’t try to test if that’s an accurate description of the taste. They’re poisonous. Not deadly, but giving a badly upset stomach. Every year, a hadful of children are so badly affected, they need hospital treatment.
