Aetanthus nodosus

The fruits of aetanthus nodosus look edible and tempting – but are they? First of all red here is not ripe – black is!

Should I trust black berries from a plant that is parasitic? Then again a parasite might offer chemicals not much different than that of the host.

Altitude 3450 metres.

Native range is Colombia to Peru.
