Unknown shrub with berries-Solanum sp?? (forum)

John Mc starts with ...
Hi all,
This shrub pictured is self sown. It looks a lot like a Solanum species but I'm not familiar with it. Put it another way, it's not common in my area.
Can anyone identify it? It has a mixture of green, orange and red berries on at the same time. It's quite an attractive little shrub. They're tempting to try but if it's what I think it is, It might be comming out.

Thanks JUJUBE,
Looks like you're right. A migratory bird could have dropped it's parcel while flying high overhead, heading north.
BTW, how long before my Jujube plants are ready to be sent?

Hey Rony,
Get onto JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE. Lucy has around 5 different cultivars for sale . You might be still lucky, she just might have one or two left, you'll have to ask.
She comes highly recommended from me.
I bought three different cultivars from her earlier this year.
