Dominic, I know that you are not really a herbalist... :) It is NOT a weed. I will wait a bit longer to give a hint until you give a hint for your "Picture of the Day" :lol:

No Stelios, the plant belongs to the nightshade family and is native to Asia...

Looks like a Wolfberry or Gogi.

Does it grow wild Max, or did you plant it? There was something similar in my front garden in Cyprus, only small though. If I was there now, we could compare bush pictures.

Not wild Bograt. I bought the plant 2 years ago in London Flower Shop, Mesoyi Road, when I saw the berries at Lidl's for a reasonable price, but from China obviously. So I tried to grow my own but the few berries it produced disappeared always and the growing of the plant was very slow. I cut the plant down to 20 cm recently and now many shots coming up. I also cut down the neighbour plant, a solanum, in order that the Goji gets more light and water/food. Looks like this was an issue.

When I am back over Max, I will look at the one in my border and see if it is the same.
