Southern Appalachia

I see it everywhere. It seems to grow like a weed out of any crack in the pavement and along fence lines, but is also present as a full grown ass tree (unless I'm confusing species). I've always liked it and considered putting one in a yard for a fast growing shade tree. Put me in the know please, my plant people.

I thought it was a horse chestnut, but then picked it up and looked. There were loads of them. All the same. Like an alien bunch of green shiny tentacled pods on a stalk.

Partner found this plant/bush on a walk today & asked me what it is. Since I don’t know & none of the search results looked right, I turn the case over to y’all :)

He said it felt like a grape, texture-wise. Smooth & slightly squishy when pressed, but with that good tension to its skin. Firmer than a tomato. None bigger than what y’all can see in the vid. (And he’s been suitably shamed & chastised for touching an unknown plant with bare hands LMAOOOO)

He said all the fruit/berry/veg(?) orbs were turning that bright orange from light green & he didn’t see any deepening to red or anything like that. Kind of a sprawling shrub with dark green foliage. No idea if it’s native to area or not.

Hope y’all smartypants can ID it with all your lovely brains & knowledge :) It’s driving him bonkers not knowing, LOL

Looks like it and smells like it but just checking there isn't some super-poisonous psuedo rosemary. It's on an allotment in London, which should be a clue, but I inherited it, rather than planting it hence the caution.

It had some incredible colours. It was quite tall, about 5 foot?

Mother is growing "pumpkins" she says, it turns out, they're not the pumpkins (gourd) she wanted to grow, these "aren't tasty" she said. I asked "Where are they from, country wise?" She answers with "I don't know 😊" ....🫪..

Opened one of the "bad" unripe ones my mom took off. She said the insides just look orange with seeds like most other gourds.

From what I gathered, they might be from either Argentina or Angola??? 2 VERY different countries... BUT, we're not even near either of those countries either, we're in Belgium. She tends to like growing Chinese vegetables, so I assume she got the seeds from the Chinese market maybe?

I noticed these “spiky” looking plants growing in my garden bed. I pulled out a few, but after more kept popping up, I was curious and let them grow. Well, I finally got a flower on one and it is the yellow flower shown peeking out of my alyssum. Does anyone know what plant this is??

Zone 5b in Upstate NY for context!

Thank you!

I really like the vibrancy of the vines and the shapes of the leaves. What I really want to know is, what it's called and if the berries are safe to consume.

This vine has invaded my lawn (thanks neighbor) and has already killed one fence. Any help removing it is welcome. Also I live near Dallas, Texas if that helps.

Can anyone identify this plant ? I am in the middle east and was wondering what this fruit tis bearing , obv tis a wild plant

I visited my parents home and surprised to see this plant grow like weed. It is everywhere and my mother told me it started to grow two weeks ago. I want to remove it but she told me it is edibles. Is it truly edible or just some weeds? I live in hot and humid Malaysia. Thankyou all.

Thank you for your help!

Wondering what this spruce-like vining plant is? Never seen anything like it! Growing in my yard in Rhode Island USA.

my phone keeps telling me polypody or boston swordfern but idk, it doesn’t look the same to me! i got it from a nursery in western NC. there was no tag on it

My partner and I recently got a terrible leak repaired on a window frame in our Chicago apartment, but today we noticed this guy had appeared—can anyone identify what this creepy thing is?

What is this plant/bush? I'm in zone 5 Western USA .

Should I rip it out or leave it?
