This popped up in my overgrown back yard...so I left it to see what it might do. The only one of it I've seen. Was not there last year.
I can't pull up anything similar on Google, so HEY - anybody here have any idea what this tiny shrub is?
Fruit is still hard, possibly unripe...started out light green, now almost Liquitex scarlet.
Could be some type of wild "pepper" plant. . . or more likely, in the solanum (tomato)family, most solanums are poisionous. . . check with your local cooperative ext. agency.

do you only have one fruit? maybe take a sample of a bit of branch & a pic of the fruit into a nursery, then come back & tell everyone what you've found!
Far out...must not be toxic to some beast, because it found itself there somehow... Soooo, it isn't really good for anything, just a OH, LOOK AT THAT kinda plant. Well, OK.
I'll have to move it, not wanting Bambi to get a stomach ache.
