Brought this plant a few weeks ago and cant find the label. Is it a Phytolacca icosandra. Thank you in advance
I was given one of these a couple of years ago but my daughter persuaded me to remove it, fearing the children might get in to difficulties with it as it's toxic.

No children to worry about. We have Brugmansia, Laburnum and probably others. We also have a pond. If we worried about whether a plant was poisonous or not we wouldn't have any plant in the garden.

My late mother would horrify me, ( and herself! ) by describing her childhood in the Northern Irish countryside. She and her siblings and friends would regularly head out after breakfast and not return until the evening. During the day, they would eat berries, leaves and roots, relying on each other to identify which were supposedly edible. She always wondered how they survived to adulthood!

My childhood was very similar
