I don't think this is food and drink. It's not a confirmed edible fruit. Chsbbs (talk) 01:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not a food or drink. I've spent hundreds of hours over the last three years pulling or spraying herbicide on this plant. As a retiree from the University of Florida, I've also spoken with UF agronomists who researched the plant. This plant is listed on the Category 1 List of Invasive Weeds (the worst category) for Florida, it is one of top ten weeds found in state parks and was recently declared a "noxious weed," which has legal ramifications. The UF publication used in footnote #9, lists three different instances of cattle death. In each case, due to dried up pastures from drought, farmers let cattle into their woodlots, were the weed grows. In at least two cases, 17-18 cattle died in each, their bodies were taken to the UF Vet School morgue. Large amounts of leaves and berries of this plant were found in the stomachs. While not positively determined as the cause of death, scientists felt sure this was the case. However, as the cause was not positive, UF scientists still listed it as "potentially poisonous to livestock, pets and people." This plant is an ecological disaster and I often refer to it as "the Burmese python of north central Florida." Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 01:59, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
