I am relatively new to gardening. In mid summer, one of my lantana plants developed a bunch of green berry pods. I know lantanas get some pods, but it seems like the berries are replacing all the flowers. Should I prune the berries? Is there anything I can do to make the flowers come back?
Now that I've linked to "Lantana (movie)" here, a disambiguation page might be more appropriate. But I don't know how to do those (at time of writing, this also includes moving "Lantana" to "Lantana (plant)"), so if someone has the time, could they have a go at making a disambiguation page?

Since the plant has been around much longer than the moive, I think that the plant should be left here at lantana, I'll make a disambig page for alternate uses --nixie 23:09, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I have several Lantana plants that are over ten (10) feet tall in my back yard. I wonder what the record is for height???These were from old South Alabama plants. I have been growing them this tall and taller for several years in my back yard near the deck.I have never seen any this large or tall.
In India there are areas in the states of Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh where Lantana Plants are being used for making furniture in an effort to make use of this 'invasive weed' the website of one of these organisations http://www.hescoindia.com/lantena.html

[edit] My dog eats lantana...
Last summer, I grew three different colors of Lantana in my flower garden. We could not keep the dogs out of it. They at the flowers and the berries. Are they not poisinous to dogs? Can any one answer this for me???

Lantana is considered a noxious weed in Australia (thus the movie title, although I won't try to explain that here because I can't) But generally, in Australia, Lantana is "bad". Yes, it grows into HUGE thickets of skin-ripping thorny stuff. I think it's poisonous to cattle too. Once you've got a giant patch of Lantana "down the bottom paddock" then the cute little flowers ain't so cute!
[edit] Poisonous ?
As a kid I used to eat the lantana berries all the time (after they turned black). They are quite insubstantial, but sweet. As far as I know, the native people in India (Adivasi) do not consider this fruit to be poisonous. Can the person who said they are poisonous cross check his source please ?
Pjp wiki 10:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC) i am also agree with that lantana is not poisonous i can say this because i eat this many time in my childhood in Ujjain.
[edit] How poisinous are the berries?
I just had a few berries and I wondered if they were poisinous or not. So I looked it up on here and it says they're "posinous". But does that mean they're stomach churning, throwing-up, or being hospitalized. Or is it none of these and edible. Could someone please answer please.
