Nightshade IS a beautiful woody vine & I let one get quite big for a year
or so, but when they started springing up all over the place I decided not
to encourage them. Spreads very aggressively here. But leaves, flowers, &
fruit are quite pretty, & it's no more "deadly" than any number of
commonly gardened plants, could even be eaten if first well cooked. Here's
my article "Deadly Nightshade should be renamed Lovely Nightshade":

Nice ;

I've dealt with the falling over problem by putting [well, okay - keeping
a donor ;] mine further back in the garden, in a 'cage' [one of the
column shaped supports]. It stays fairly upright, and the flowers and
berries drape out nicely ;

cheers!
