Notes:
This plant was growing in a rain gutter. It stands about 2-2.5 feet tall. There was one “fruit” on the plant which looked like a bell pepper except the size of a marble. It has reddish flowers with a yellow center. The leaves are three lobed which have red veins and green leaves I believe turning reddish. Possibly turning for the fall (that is unknown)? The edges of the leaves and stems have little “hairs”. The main trunk is whitish and smooth but very gnarly.
