Poisonous raspberries?
Hi there.
growing up from in and around my rasberry canes is a very vigourous looking Arum (lords and ladies) which is a v toxic plant esp the berries.
Im wondering if anyone has any solid authorative info about whether this toxicity could transfer from this plant and be absorbed by the raspberries, due to their proximity.
its really intertwined and inseparable from the canes so I'd rather not try and dig it out and disturb the raspberry canes.
Thansk !

No, it won't cause you any problems at all.

Absolutely agree - no danger at all.
I've eaten so many wild blackberries growing amongst everything from Lords & Ladies to hemlock and water dropwort, and I've survived for more than half a century with no noticeable ill effects.
Enjoy your raspberries.

Brilliant! I had thought as much but had to be sure
