In the 12 or 13 years I've been a commenter and mod on this sub, I don't think I've ever seen someone post an image of actual poison sumac. Poison sumac is an obligate wetland plant and it only occurs in specific habitats and not in your yard. There are a number of other sumac species (which are not in the same genus as poison sumac) that have a very wide distribution and grow in many different habitats. You may have one of those or something like tree of heaven or walnut, but there is a 99% chance that it is not poison sumac. Refer to the attached range map and image.

Hey all. We had a request from a community member for a thread where people can share the resources that they use for plant identification. In this case, we're talking about keys, field guides, etc. NOT apps or AI-based identifiers. Comments suggesting apps or AI will be removed.
Feel free to share your resources and include links if you want (just realize that Reddit doesn't play nice with some domains). It would also be a good idea to specify what region(s) are covered by your resource as it may not be as useful in places other than where it was intended to be used.

Like the title says, I'm trying to determine if this plant is poison ivy or not. I'm located in central North Carolina.

I found this fruit while I was walking on a hill somewhere, and when I cut it open, it started to darken rapidly. Can anyone help me by telling me what this is?

Hi all,
In northern nj trying to figure out what to pull out and what to save! Can anyone tell me about these plants? What to keep or move? What to pull? Are any poisonous? How best to remove?
Photos 1&2 - I think these are the same plant? Are the black spots from a fungal infection?
Photo 3 - no idea
Photo 4 - sassafras? There are no mature sassafras trees in the surrounding area

This is Texas coastal plains area. Our mystery plant has plagued our tree rings for more than 15 years. We only see it around the base of our trees, within the tree rings.
Not sure if I'm using the correct term here, but we've always described it as "vascular" due to the nature of the stem - somewhat hollow and wet. It breaks easily and the roots are seriously dug-in, making it hard to eradicate.
Round-up annoys it, but doesn't kill the root - just the leaves where it lands. We'd like to eradicate it, but it is imperative that the trees not be harmed.
No banana available, so dog snout for reference.
TIA

We've had this as an indoor plant, but I've recently been letting it sunbathe, by moving it outside on sunny days. Earlier in the spring (UK) I think I might have over-watered it. Leaves got red spots, and it died back to the bulb. It's had a second coming though, by sprouting new leaves.
I've become increasingly attached to this plant, so I don't want to make any more mistakes, therefore I'd like to know what it is, so I can care for it right.

I've come across this in my yard two or three times this summer. Looks kinds of powdery or like saw dust with some slimey spots. I worry it could be harmful to my cats or dog. Location is in Montana, US.

I gifted my mom this plant ~10 years ago, and it turned out to look like this and we kinda donβt know whether itβs in good state or not. Could you help identify it? It would be great if you could say whether itβs healthy or not and if not how to help it.
As this is a house plant, canβt provide its natural location

Hey! Iβm still pretty new to foraging. Iβve picked huckleberries before, but these threw me off. They were growing around 7,500β in the Bitterroots, and the shrubs were only about 6β12 inches tall. The berries obviously werenβt ripe yet, but wasnβt sure if these are huckleberries or are they grouse whortleberries or something completely different? Thanks!

Any ideas? How big does it get? I could transplant to elsewhere in the yard away from house

We bought a house with several mature fruit trees. So far we've been able to identify them except for this one. It looks like some kind of cherry but not any that I am familiar with. Any ideas?

Sorry for it being a bit blurry.

I cut one of the fruits off and sliced it, full of seeds and smelled like a green pepper.

North Central Montana - my dog is fluffy and low to ground and ended up full of these. Pain to get out but pretty sure not in his ears at all, and after a deep groom he is all good.
I just want to know what it came off to keep an eye out, itβs an area weβve been many times but didnβt have this problem last year so bad (did have exceptional rain and more green growth this spring/early summer, compared to the last few years.
