Kangaroo Apple, hard to tell which species. Maybe S. simile?

No idea @Kyliegw I don't know this genus that well. The leaves have thrown me, fine and not lobed.
Was it planted do you think? If so it could be anything.
Hopefully the brains trust will know more

It could have been planted - i did tick that. Its right next to the old yards (that are cobble lined!) so it could either or. It looks like its got some age on it. Yes - leave it to the brains trust.

I think that this might be Solanum vescum as the leaves appear to be at least 10 x as long as wide, but I am unfamiliar with the solanums of your area

Fruit are the decider, orche yellow for S.linearifolium, green for S.simile, and orange/red for S.aviculare
