It infests woodlands, forest edges, fields, hedgerows, coastal areas, salt marsh edges, and other upland areas, especially where some soil moisture is present.

The stems, leaves, and berries it produces are poisonous when consumed in vast quantities, which influences severe skin irritation when it comes into contact with the sap.
