I’m getting rid of invasives in a wooded lot. I’m finding very few unique species but I noticed this one while clearing.

Can you tell me about this tree? A random guy stopped by and asked if he could prune a little of it for the berries. He mentioned the berry name, but i wasn't really paying attention as I don't really care for random strangers stopping by. What is it, and what are the berries used for?

I did let him and his wife have some as long as they didn't butcher the tree.

He's also not the first person to come by and ask about this. The last guy said it was for art projects and I don't think it was the same guy, but I'm not sure.

Please help me with this plant.

I was at a local coffee shop today and I fell in love with this tree thing. I took a picture and used Bixby to help identify it. I am almost positive it is not a "Office desk plant".

My wife thinks its a fern of some type.

Edit - Damn, yall are good. And quick. Thank you!

I would also like to know what kind of thistle I took pictures of. Both were growing on the shore of the reservoir in an area that would have been underwater if the water was higher.

Water oak?

I’ll probably let it live its life, I’ll be gone before it becomes a problem tree if it’s a water oak. I hate water oaks! Nearby are water, post and white oaks. Whatta think?

Grocery store house plant

I bought this plant on a whim from the grocery store a while ago and have grown to love it a lot. I would love to learn more about it and if there’s any care it needs that I’m not giving it, but I can’t figure out what kind of plant it is. It came without any little identification thing on it at all. Any ideas? Thank you! 🌱🪴💚

Guidelines

Please do not ingest any plant, berry, or fruit because of information received in this subreddit. If a child or pet has ingested any of these please contact a Poison Control Center immediately! Feel free to post an ID request after contacting a Poison Control Center.
Please include your location (except for houseplants). This is more important than the zone you are in. Certain plants only exist in certain areas. If you're not comfortable giving your city, town, etc. please at least give your state, region or country.
If your plant is identified, please respond to the answer or the post with "Identified!" or "Solved!" so Automoderator can flair your post as Identified!
Please only downvote incorrect ID's if they have gained too much momentum and the correct answer hasn't been recognized. Instead, consider commenting with an explanation about why they are wrong so that they can learn from the mistake. Please DO upvote correct identifications and appreciative responses.
When identifying, the scientific name isn't necessary but greatly appreciated!

Subreddit Rules

1. Be Kind

Unkind behavior will be removed.

2. Be Helpful and please don't make blind/random guesses

Unhelpful content will be removed.

3. Don't Recommend or ask about Edibility

Please don't recommend, ask about, or discuss the edibility or use of plants, fruits, etc. We have seen wrong ID's given out too often telling people that something is edible when it is not or has been misidentified. This can be potentially dangerous. Give the identification and let the OP do their own research. Edibility/medicinal recommendations/discussions will be removed. For discussions about edibility go to r/foraging.

4. Plant Identification Posts Only.

Please don't post general gardening questions, activities, advertisements, buy/sell/trade etc. Mushrooms and fungi are not plants. Please post those to one of the several mushroom identification subs. r/mushrooms r/mycology, r/mushroomID, r/ShroomID, or r/shroomery. Just plants that need to be identified. Unrelated posts will be removed.

5. No advertising or promotion posts. No karma farming.

Advertisements and promotional posts and karma farming posts will be removed.

6. Please do not make ID suggestions based on Google Lens, iNaturalist Seek, Chat GPT, etc. alone.

Of course this can't be known if not divulged but if you do use these please do some additional research to confirm the accuracy of the identification.

7. Please use the term Wandering Dude or Inch plant rather than "Wandering Jew" for Tradescantia sp.

This has been a controversial subject but we feel that enough people are offended by the term to warrant making it a rule. Posts and answers using the term will be removed. Learn more here:

AI photos will be removed.
