I have a plant about 1 meter tall with pinkish stems and cluster of flowers on it. The flowers grow into little plumlike green fruits. Not sure what it is. I thought it was tomarillo that I grow but I don't think it is.

And all parts are toxic. Pull it up and dispose of it safely.

if you like it then it will be ok in the garden but it seeds freely. but yes it is toxic so handle with care.

So toxic that Americans seek it out in Spring to eat the new young growth.
