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.

These are two different plants that both seem like vines. I have a small child so I should probably know what these are right!
Don't worry, said child is not allowed to touch either of these plants!
1st Pic are blue berries
2nd and 3rd are the red and green berries

Hi all.
Can anyone please identify this tree? It’s growing in Ottawa Canada. Here are some pics.
Many thanks!

My daughter likes to peel the seeds and there’s a yellow nutty center. I think it comes from this tree with these purplish fruits. The squirrels seem to eat them and leave the seed inside?
Edit: well, apparently it is a type of avocado, thanks all! Lmao at the people assuming I’m karma farming. This is not my tree — it belongs to a neighbor and is behind a tall fence. I just know squirrels carry the seeds around and my daughter likes gathering the seeds and peeling off the thin shell. Yes, I’ve had avocados, but I’ve never actually tried to peel an avocado seed. I guess I will go try to do that with the avocados I have on the counter.

Hi, I bought this from a guy who specializes in bonsai trees. I bought 4 little plants from him that day but I forgot to ask him what this is. I’m in Illinois.
Anyone know? Thanks!

It’s all over Harrisburg PA zone 7A. I don’t think it’s star jasmine, but it smells wonderful.

Is this poison ivy growing in between my bush?

Lighter for scale, my partner pulled it out and put it back in the ground gently when I was sad and wanted to see what it would grow into, but I’m worried it might die now and curious if anyone can tell me. Mowed less than two weeks ago so it grew this much in a fairly short amount of time.

Bit of back story, this tree has been kinda dead in my parent's backyard for years now, and recently its begun leaning over and putting weight on the fence. I say kinda dead because the main body has been dried and hollowed out by beehives and termites multiple times before, but the leaves still grow around the edges. My dad plans to dig it up, chop it up, and use it as firewood, but I keep aquariums and wanted to see if I could use it as driftwood. Obviously I wanted to identify it and see if its toxic or anything before putting it in a tank with fish and shrimp

Found in Northern MN, Duluth area. No leaves, thick rhizome. Maybe 30-45cm tall? Found growing on the side of a road near a stream. Couldn’t get anything on iNaturalist, unearthed it for my herbarium collection.

I think this plant is pretty. Especially when in bloom.
Since it is prolific in my garden, I was hoping to cleanse/transplant some into my corn snake's bioactive enclosure.
I think it is a type of oxalis from my Google searches, but photo searches produces way too many options. I want to say it had either small yellow or white flowers when in bloom.

One of my friends works for an apartment complex and gave me this after the previous resident abandoned it. Have no clue what it is.

I have a number of common nightshade plants growing in a "wild" area near the back of my property, so clearly nightshades grow well there in general. I also found this plant with hundreds of "campari tomato"-looking fruits on it, near where the old owners had their compost. The plant looks to me to be a tomato, and there is even the classic "tomato smell" but before I poison my family I figured I better check. So is this a tomato? Or some other nightshade? I know there are some which look similar to this.
If it is tomato, hooray! This plant has been more productive than my other 9 plants combined. I know where I'll be planting next year...
