Talk:Solanum mauritianum

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is totally contradictory re whether the plant is poisonous or not. Para one says "Watt & Brandwijk state that horses, domestic chickens and all birds eat the fruit with impunity, and further state that no records of poisoning in children exist."

but under toxicity it says: "All parts of the Solanum mauritianum plant are poisonous to humans, especially the berries.[2] Human fatalities have resulted from the consumption of the berries."

Someone has to be wrong!


Registered toxic weed in the state of NSW (Australia)

[edit]

This is a registered toxic weed, which means that landholders are legally obliged to remove it from their properties once they know it grows there.
