Identification Area

Agree with everyone else about needing good pics. Any other clues.. berries, fruit? However, Walnut.. Juglans regia can definitely be ruled out, as this has pinnate leaves. One stalk with several leaflets. See... ...

I agree with Ziggy 'Aconitum' - such a lovely flower.

Wow, that was quick. Thank you very much

Looks like Aronia melanostica,aka Chokeberry. The berries are bitter as the seeds contain a lot of Cyanins. However, they do make a very nice sharp Jam when processed to remove the seeds.

Welcome to GC ,Jerodequin. I see you have removed the Goosefoot , now dont forget to check that bed annually for the next 1700years The things you learn on GC !

No not that I recall Zigs and we used to collect it regularly because in the late 40s early 50s we kept lots of rabbits for food and we were not supposed to make pets of them but of course like kids do we all had our favourites. I wouldn't eat it I am afraid and that is why mother told us not...

Thanks Anne! Ageratum corymbosum!!

it's not mine SG it's my brothers, he has just offered me seed from it, do you know if it comes true from seed please.

Hi lolimac, Sorry for the late reply, but in addition to Zigs' reply I think you should also consider it to be a Ganoderma bracket. Either way, both Ganoderma and Phellinus cause a white rot delignification, meaning the tree loses what makes it rigid and stiff, leaving it prone to mechanical...

It's quite easy to start new plants from the shoots which appear at the base of the main plant. It's a bit early at present though, I'd wait until the leaves have fallen and the plant is dormant, then dig out the shoot, keeping as much of the root intact as possible and put in in a large pot...

Ok, this plant is Odontonema strictum.. it's a native of Mexico and central America.
