This was the original Seminole Heights blog with commentary about life in and around the urban neighborhood of Seminole Heights in Tampa, Florida. Musings about other topics as my mood permits. The blog is essentially inactive since I moved to Lutz. Go to The Official Unofficial Seminole Heights Blog - www.seminoleheightsblog.com for active content.

What is this?
I have searched the Internet for plums, cherries and fruits but I can not find this plant. Does anyone know what it is and are the berries poison?
That's a surinam cherry. They're pretty common in this area. Very good to eat, high in vitamin C. Pretty tart until they turn dark red, then they're nice and sweet.
We had a surinam hedge at our house at my childhood home in St.Petersburg. My three brothers and I ate them and used them as ammo. We're all middle aged and still alive.
