It was only pointed out to me yesterday. It's in a bit of woodland, I walk past it every day and have never noticed it. It's about fifteen feet up a steep bank which is quite slippy as you can imagine.
It's just off the path round the lake I walk round every day and I've never noticed it before. It's very leggy, only about six feet high having been struggling for light under all the other trees (over 50 footers). It only has three bunches of berries.
The chap who asked me if I knew what it was, was about to try one and I said they might be toxic or they might be OK when totally ripe and from what I've read (if it is what I think it is) trying one wasn't a good idea?
He was on about moving it (!!!) but I said I didn't think it was a good idea as to be sure it would be OK you'd have to dig a big root-ball and being in a wood with all sorts of other roots around, that might not be an easy task? I think it's best left where it is. What do you think?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
