I brought my Solanum pyracanthoninside for the winter recently, and it decided to start blooming like crazy.. I love this plant and hope to keep it alive until next spring when it can go back outside..
just eyecandy, a lot of fruit in the tomato family is poisonous if I recall correctly. Nightshade and Datura are in the same family if I'm not mistaken. I used to have one but it outgrew my space so gave it away.
Its basically a tropical tomato, same kinda care. Its from Madagascar so just cant handle our winters.. And I think I read the fruit is edible, but very bitter. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/132477/

Other way around, most of the fruits are the only edible parts of the plants.. All of Solanum are super toxic, but the fruits are edible. Eggplant for instance.
Yeah its definitely alot bigger then the wee little baby plant I brought home this past spring. LOL. Im glad I wasnt successful in my many attempts to kill it by forgetting to water it. This summer was so hot and dry, all my non CP plants dried out so fast between waterings. Went out on several occasions and this poor guy was rather thirsty and wilted. :\ BUT it lived, and is happier now. LOL.
