Does anyone know what this is?? And how to properly get rid of it??? Every millimeter of it is covered in needle-like thorns that pierce through every pair of gloves I have tried to use and hurt when touched with the slightest pressure. It’s getting huge and some of its “branches” are rooting back into the ground and growing roots. It was the one plant almost all summer but now it’s popping up in other areas near the big one. I live in New Jersey if that helps, but have never seen something like this

Found in the forests of southern Sweden. Second image seems clearly an example of Fomitopsis pinicola but the shape of the first example looks like no example I can find online. Is the first image a Fomitopsis pinicola but with a unusual shape or is this common for them? Thanks for any help in answering!

Edit: appears to be an older Fomitopsis pinicola

Was on the $5 rack at Home Depot.

We just moved in and trying to identify this plant.

It’s shrub/tree-like, around 8-10 feet at the top - and growing directly below a mature cherry tree. Trying to identify before I do any trimming (or remove if invasive).

Lightly serrated leaves, has numerous offshoots, and the yellow flowers showed up at the end of September.

Location: Northern New Jersey

Parrots seemed to love them. It has pear like texture . And is somewhat sweet.
Location Netherlands . The size of the fruit comparable to a strawberry .
Edited to add location and size
Identified as malus golden hornet ( gele sierappel)

Found in the Champlain Valley of Vermont

is this flower poisonous to cats

I have no idea what this is. I have no intentions of eating it. It just popped up under my deck.

It keeps losing leaves. She waters it once a week, keeps it in a south facing window. Any idea what it is and how to rescue?

Thank goodness for this sub, I know every other post seems to be asking the same question I have. SF Bay Area, sprouted up down the street.

I have a black walnut and a lot of squirrels so it definitely could be that. These leaf edges look smooth to me and I don’t see the two thumbs. Looking for a consensus on what it actually is, thank you!

I have an app that identifies plants but making sure as for no poison copy variant or similar type plants is this a cockers comb and as per app info the plant is edible is this true and is the whole plant edible or just the leaves....I live in Branson Missouri where I got this plant making sure thank you in advance. 😊

Someone gifted me theese

Looking for a second opinion and hoping this isn't poison ivy. Central MA, October 15.

Edit: plant is about 10" tall, 3 leaves at the top of the stem and then growing in pairs along the stem (only about 1 pair per stem after the top 3), some red on the stem, leaves are serrated.

This came along for the ride with when my wife harvested garlic bulbs from a rooftop planter. This was fresh soil only garlic cloves were planted. Smells faintly of garlic but definitely not garlic. Vancouver, BC.

Would really like to save it. Variegation is a beaut.

I've seen similar purple berries on here before saying that they were edible, and now I'm curious if these are as well.

Edit: It seems that the most likely variant of this is Japanese Beautyberry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callicarpa_japonica) which isn't edible, which means that I won't try them. Thank you everyone!

Hello, I am not an outdoor-sy person, let alone a plant person and as such, am needing some help.

We have these... Weeds? Saplings? That pop up all over our property and they are incredibly hard to remove and poisoning seems to do nothing.

What are these? Weeds? Offshoots from trees that previous grew around the property? Woody weeds?

Any help is appreciated!
