This is a vegetable, a vegetable sapling to be exact, as it looks like an eggplant sapling.

Eggplant sapling morphological characteristics

Deciduous large trees, up to 30 meters high, up to 1 meter in diameter at breast height; the bark is gray-brown, scalelike; the branchlets are lenticellate, stout, extended. Leaves papery or leathery, broadly elliptic, broadly ovate or ovate-elliptic, 6-30 centimeters long, 3.5-14.5 centimeters wide, apical mucronate or abruptly acuminate, sparsely obtuse, basal mucronate or broadly cuneate, entire, glabrous or sparsely strigose above, paler below, pilose or pilose only along veins, or glabrous but with tufts of hairs often present in the axils of the veins; lateral veins 5-9 pairs, raised below; petiole 2-8 centimeters long. glabrous or pilose; stipules large, triangular-ovate, caducous. Paniculate cymes terminal; flowers fragrant, pedicels ca. 4 mm; calyx tube ca. 4 mm, lobes suborbicular, ciliate, deciduous, metamorphosed leafy calyx lobes white, reddish, or yellowish, papery or leathery, spatulate-ovate or broadly elliptic, 1.5-8 cm long, 1-6 cm wide, with longitudinally parallel veins, stalked, 1-3 cm long; corolla funnelform, white or yellow, 2-3 cm long Corolla funnelform, white or yellow, 2-3 cm long, yellow-white tomentose, lobes suborbicular, ca. 7 mm long, ca. 6 mm wide; filaments tomentose. Capsule oblong-ovate or subfusiform, 3-5 cm long, 1-1.5 cm in diameter, glabrous or pubescent, longitudinally finely ribbed; seeds numerous, small and broadly winged. Flowering period June-August, fruiting period August-November.

Eggplant

Eggplant erect branched herb to subshrub, up to 1 m tall, branchlets, petioles and pedicels are covered with 6-8-(10)-branched, flat-appliquéd or short-stalked stellate tomentum, branchlets are mostly purple (wild ones tend to have prickles), and the indumentum gradually falls off as they age. Leaves large, ovate to oblong-ovate, petiole ca. 2-4.5 cm (wild ones prickly). Fertile flowers are solitary, with petioles ca. 1-1.8 cm, and dense indumentum. The shape and size of the fruit are highly variable. The shape of the fruit is either long or round, and the color is white, red or purple. The fruit can be used for vegetable consumption. The roots, stems, and leaves are used in medicine, as astringents, with diuretic effects, and the leaves can also be used as an anesthetic. The seeds are used as a decongestant, also used as a stimulant, but it is easy to cause gastric weakness and constipation.
