Dekers Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have no idea, looked odd as soon as it sprung up so I left it to see what happened, I'm still none the wiser, any ideas what it is, its about 1foot or 30cm high.

Lord Geordie Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Looks like Jimsonweed, commonly known as thorn apple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Looks like a common thorn apple - pretty sure it's quite nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Cheers, I've looked up this Jimsonweed/thorn apple, and it does appear to be some evil poisonous mother. It will be going tomorrow ...with some caution and care! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 We have that on one of the shoots I beat at, it is mixed in amongst the rape. It smells foul when ripe! I will ask what it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBob Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thorn apple, Datura stramonium. Evil smelling plant. Surprisingly poisonous, lots of very powerful alkaloids. Destroy it now, before seed pod matures and drops seed all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
