My wife took this photo in Austria but nobody could tell her what it

Looks like pokeweed, Phytolacca americana.

Amazing. *I've only ever seen this growing once, in The Courts NT
garden in Wiltshire. *I couldn't remember the name but the berries are
poisonous, I think. *Then tonight, Monty saw it growing and said he
didn't know what it was, so well done Sacha!

Pam in Bristol

I've grown it for a few years, sold some at plant sales
Interesting but nothing to rave over.
