The plant is about as poisonous as a tomato plant, and the green berries
are about as deadly as green tomatoes, though I've never been tempted to
make green nightshade chutney.

When the berries are ripe they are perfectly edible, and are sweetish
and refreshing. Apart from the size of the plants and their fruits, I
can see no difference between black nightshade and 'garden
huckleberries', nor taste any.

IIRC there are two different plants commonly called huckleberry, and one
of them is indeed black nightshade or a variety of it. I grew it once,
but wasn't particularly enamoured of it. There's much nicer berries
around.

Both black nightshade and woody nightshade are Solanum, and isn't
Solanum melongela the aubergine?

Tomato is Lycopersicum esculentum, but I've completely forgotten what
the potato is.
