Question by Notfooled: Missouri wild yellow tomato?
Today while hiking on our land we found some yellow tomato-like plants. They are growing all arount the rocks we had placed for our fire ring, and a couple were growing out from between the wood stumps we placed to sit on when we have a fire.

All down the stalks. and down the back center of the leaves are thorn-like protrutions. Really, more like fine cactus thorns.

I cut open the fruit, and it appears like a yellow cherry tomato, however the smell is more fruity, almost perfume-ish. The fruit is also much more firm than you would expect a tomato to be.

I’ve looked through all my books on wild Missouri plants, but cannot come up with anything.

Any clue would be appreciated.
Thank you RScott, however tbe thorns on it are much bigger than the ones I’m talking about. These are fine cactus like. You know the ones you get in your finger, and you can’t even see them? They hurt like they’re bigger though 😉

  26. About a month ago I uploaded a picture a plant I grew from seed, Solanum pyracanthum. Sounds a lot like your mystery plant. RScott

  27. I know the plant you are talking about. They are all over North Central Oklahoma, including my backyard. Now you have me curious again and I will have to contact the Ag. Extension service. They are obviously a solanum, related to tomato and potato but I don’t know if they are a poisonous form of nightshade or not.
