Gidday Looks a bit like wool nightshade to me. How big does it grow? this Mystery (so far) plant grows to about 3-4 ft. here (91-122 cm) But, the woolly nightshade is a TALL plant, up to 30+ feet (10 meters) and a bugger of a problem for You all in Nz. I read after googling... Here is a Wiki Link Phorum Phamily...check this plant out!! Wool Nightshadesee Pholks...dis little game is phun and edgy-cational  Please try again Jack |

Yes to both Mo Nope not a Brug Christy Gonna say belladonna Nope Bro...not Belladonna...we gots lots of that here though too...saving up the berries for a pie   Gidday I aint nevere seen any reach near 30 feet, biggest I've seen would be about 8 feet. And yes you sure are right about a bugger of a problem. But the leaves do look like your mystery plant Eh! Yes they do Jack, I did a double take when I searched for and found the info on the Woolly Nightshade Please try again Ya'll  Another Hint or 3: This plant has a central stem from which branches extend radially in a star pattern and are covered with a dense matte of woolly hairs. Flowers are small and green The ripe fruit is orange-red and has milk-coagulating properties. The plant has long brown tuberous roots that are used for medicinal purposes. |

We have a WINNER...XDX Good Job Bro...what gave it away... Dang good job X, Yes, it's Ashwagandha Literature will tell you: Ayurvedic medicine classifies it as a "rasayana" (rejuvenation) and expected to promote physical and mental health
Rejuvenate the body in debilitated conditions and increase longevity.
Ashwagandha is used to treat a number of disorders that affect human health including central nervous system (CNS) disorders, particularly in epilepsy, stress and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disorders, tardive dyskinesia, cerebral ischemia, and even in the management of drug addiction. I can tell You that although we have taken cuttings, Our "collection" of Ashwagandha is three LARGE plants... we winter over one every winter inside, take cuttings... It's VERY tough, all were out-UNCOVERED, in the 32° weather and two frosts...unscathed!! We should have seed if anyone is interested!! I know that took some thinkin bro...so I'll give ya a bit to let yer brain cells cool down B4...I say...

Really? Now I'm in trouble, got to dig for a picture. I'm amazed I could even recognize that stuff. I've seen it once, or rather during one brief period of my life. They had it planted on the banks of the "pits" used for hand-to-hand- training at Ft. Ord, Ca....musta been '63 or something like that. Kennedy was shot while I was there, long time ago. I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but get a flashback like this, LOL. ;D

 The picture is a little "washed out" from the sun but you can see the thorns and the arrangement of the buds and fruit. The fruit are red and......well, no more hints for now. |
