It's certainly not a solanum, solanum leaves are much softer. This one has tough and slightly rough leaves... Unfortunately I don't have pictures of its flowers or tubers!

Hello, Robert!

It was sent on to a few experts but they can not give definitive answers without pics of the seeds or flowers, as Klippies said! :o0ps: :o0ps: :o0ps:

Our gardener planted these in our veggie garden and I don't know they are. I'm thinking radishes or maybe turnips but who knows? -O-

The leaves look too big to be radishes, but must be another kind of root veggie -O- The leaves fit with turnip \O

Tree ID without close-up of leaves is only guesswork, please do always take pics of leaves!
