Solanum torvum, also known as pendejera, turkey berry, devil's fig, pea eggplant, platebrush or susumber,[2] is a bushy, erect and spiny perennial plant used horticulturally as a rootstock for eggplant. Grafted plants are very vigorous and tolerate diseases affecting the root system, thus allowing the crop to continue for a second year.
