What's this Plant?

While it's not an exhaustive list, I thought this might be handy for any folks looking to ID mystery fruit trees in their area. If you've got additional resources like this but for less common fruits, please share!

It grew on its own, got three more like this one.

Google said wild lettuce, if so would that be edible? It has pricks all over.

Central VA, working on identifying plants in my neighborhood.

Central VA, and I believe this particular species is fairly common in my neighborhood. I’ve tried searching the internet, but the top results are blog articles with scant imagery such as this article on plantvirginianatives.org.

Apparently grows very tall, I saw adults a hundred feet tall with tiny silver leaves growing on small branches sporadically on the trunk.

I think this one is typical from Australia/Victoria area.

I’ve tried planting lots of herbs but usually they won’t grow. This time I was trying dill in a couple pots under different conditions to check what’s work best. But I think this is actually moss?

In Central VA, although it might not be native. The tree has several clumps of reddish-orange berries.

Not my photos.

iNaturalist said in the grape vine family which feels wild to me, if it is then having wild grapes growing around was not what I was expecting.

This was in the back of the house and I thought it was a rhododendron but I just noticed it gives fruit. I opened one of these things and I licked it out of curiosity. It seems to taste like a sweet Cherry with a mild stringent after taste. I assume I'll live since this was yesterday. So what the heck is this plant? It has waxy leaves.

I recently received seeds of a strange funky fruit from a friend in the Amazon. We have no idea what it is, and Jim West can’t tell from the photos that my friend sent to him either. There was a delay in getting the seeds here, but I stuck them in some soil two days ago, and they are already starting to sprout, so they seem like survivors!

Well it looked juicy, fruity, sugary to me, I did not try it. In this hot, dry, rocky landscape, this juicy wonder really sticks out.

It's all over the place here in Sardinia, makes it all look so nice.

Leaves look like this:

It's like two meters high and growing in the flower pot i use to empty the birds water dish in.

Most likely a Pouteria species, and (judging by the name) probably native to the (Ecuadorian?) Amazon, and probably bears edible fruit, but I don’t know any of that for sure. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

Most likely a Pouteria species, and (judging by the name) probably native to the Chocó biome of NW Ecuador and/or the Pacific coast of Colombia, and probably bears edible fruit, but I don’t know any of that for sure. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

Not my photo, but the photographer doesn't know what it is, and I don't either. Understory herbaceous thing.

Judging by the name, probably native to the coast of Ecuador, and probably bears edible fruit, but I don't know that for sure. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

I really would love to know what it is, and also I kind of want one, so let me know if there's a reason I shouldn't.

I tried researching, but I stumbled upon conflicting results. Anyone familiar with this one?

It grows in very shallow soil on top of rock faces.

It can be found in Cambodia and maybe other SE Asian countries

Hi everyone,

I keep seeing this video and every time I'm uncertain. I'm pretty sure that's not how normal strawberry plants look, and the fact that all of the berries are ripe at the same time is suspicious. On the other hand they look naturally connected to the plant and not stabbed into branches..

Found this growing in front of someone's house, beautiful flowers but no idea what tree.

Any ideas? Google lens results weren't helpful.

Thinking elm, zelkova, or hawthorn.

Can anyone help me identify these cluster flowers that started growing in my garden? My partner and I are not certain what they are or how they got here, but they’re quite pretty. We are in climate zone 10 according to the 2023 plant hardiness zone map.

Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year

Please ID. This plant has been emerging every season in my garden. It typically grows as a low lying herbaceous annual to 30cm high and 60cm wide.

I think it is an Alocasia amazonica ‘Ivory Coast’? Or an Alocasia Longiloba/Lowii Pink Dragon?

This grass has been growing in a few of my outdoor pots and I don't know where it came from.

These were sold to me as Senegalia roemeriana, but really don't look like any pictures I'm seeing. Any ideas?

There were a few of these plants next to each other, but not all of them had this bright purple coloration. I suppose there might be an acidic spot by the roots, but I'm not sure.

From the Netherlands

I think it's a vascular plant but I don't want to jump to conclusions

Gifted by my aunt in Spain, they both came in water. The only thing I know is the one in the left is some sort of Agave and the one in the right seems like a rootless cutting. Thanks in advance for your time

It was growing in full sun with no maintenance so basically a weed. Any help with identification would help.

Does anyone know what type of grass, or weed this is?

Not 100% in this one. I live in WV, USA. I want a second opinion, since the leaves on this are larger than what my PlantNet shows it is. I wont say what so no bias. It popped up and isn't a native.

This small tree has been growing in the edge of my property for a long time, at first I thought it was a young loquat. The fruit is about the size of a large cherry

This is on one of my mother's maples. What is it and what should she do about it?

About a year ago and this was just a couple of leaves that a storm washed out on the driveway. It's been sitting in a pot ever since, now over a metre long and with flowers. Can anyone ID please? (Australia, near Sydney- doesn't look native to me though)

I bought this plant at a flea market this weekend in Central Virginia, USA. I'm not sure what it is, however, and I want to make sure to take proper care of it. I was hoping you all could help. Thanks so much!
