some people say it's poisonous, others say it isn't. apparently the black berries are fine, the green ones aren't. kinda scary.. but i have alot of them growing, would be nice to be able to eat them.

solid vid. been learning alot from this dude. also got some trees from him recently.

didn't know about the "victory gardens movement":

Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany[1][2] during World War I and World War II. In the war time governments encouraged people to plant victory gardens not only to supplement their rations but also to boost morale

It was emphasized to American home front urbanites and suburbanites that the produce from their gardens would help to lower the price of vegetables needed by the US War Department to feed the troops, thus saving money that could be spent elsewhere on the military: "Our food is fighting," one US poster read.[15] By May 1943, there were 18 million victory gardens in the United States – 12 million in cities and 6 million on farms
