Hi all... I'm from South Africa and spend alot of time bush-whacking... Today I came across this fruit... I know they are poisonous, but as for the name I'm completely lost... Is there anyone who can identify it???
Here's the pics... It's like a very hard tomato...

Hello, It appears to be part of the nightshade family. The common name is Thorn Apple or Bitter Apple. I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and say its (Solanum incanum)
