This has started growing out of a patch of rubbly ground thats been moved since starting an extension to our house.

We have no idea what it is and theres 3 plants of good size taken root.



Any thoughts on what it could be?


Thanks in advance

It looks like thorn apple to me. It's poisonous so you might want to get rid of it.

thanks for the reply, I've just googled thorn apple and it does look like it.

I think it will be dug up in the very near future!

I've only seen it once but I seem to remember it grows huge. I wouldn't leave it too long if I were you!
