Otricoli orange Berry (Solanum nigrum)
Here's an interesting Italian. It's a variation of the common black nightshade, sporting vibrant orange berries instead of the usual purple. These plants grow 2-3 feet tall, with typical nightshade leaves and white flowers. They've been used for food for a long time, but be sure to stick to ripe berries.
Growing Tips:
Harvest berries only when fully ripe, very soft.
Warning! Green fruit may be poisonous to eat.
