we have a solanum glasnevin but the flowers are dropping off and in their place are hard green berries?

Question

As its only mid-June why has this happened. It was planted in clay soil against a fence and flowered last summer but this year it has changed to these horrible green berries, is this due to the clay soil or some other problem?

Answer 1

This is completely normal. This means that the flowers were pollinated. A sign that it is very healthy. This article will give you more information on the many types of solanum: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/solanum-plant-family.htm
