Night-Shade

It is not – surprising – that wildlife appreciates – nightshade fruits since – they are closely related to – tomatoes and eggplants

Hew down the tree and – destroy it – Yet leave the stump of the roots thereof – in the earth – And let it be wet – with the dew – of Heaven

This annual weed prefers – to grow on wasteland – and around – garbage – dumps
