There are different varieties of nightshade. The black nightshade is
very common in my fields, but is not really poisonous. I have been told
that there is another variety here in New England that has red berries
instead of black berries that is much more toxic. It is more of a vine
than a bush. Fortunately, it's less common (at least here).
