One word on the side; since this botanical has poisonous berries in the
commonwealth of va, knowingly growing it in an unprotected space (like a
yard where a kid can get in) it is considered to be danger to small
children. If a child gets into it you would be held libel for anything that
happened to a child or adult poisoned by this type of nightshade. Sad but
true. Even if you have a fenced yard, it is not good enough. I had a
problem several years ago with chokeberries. I was growing them for leather
dye but the kid next door, tunneled under the fence and got into them. He
was 5. I got lucky, he lived and I only got yelled at for having a deadly
plant in my yard.
