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!
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.
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?
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!
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?
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 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..
I took it over from a former colleague in the office and am now looking after it. Google Lens and apps like Pl@ntNet have suggested Ponytail Palm or Pandanus (but I think they only have similarities and are not exactly this plant).
Does anyone recognize this plant?
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
A neighbor I was close with recently died and their family asked if I would take the plants, of course I said yes, but 2 of them I know very little about.
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.
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
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
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!
