Identify this Plant

[kbetts]

Goose berry. Haven’t looked for a link.

 

[kbetts]

Maybe not.

Ican't remember the seeds.... I texted my friend to see if he remembers

Sure looks like a gum fruit to me, maybe black tupelo.

 

[Weldabeast]

1 large seed

 

[kbetts]

Muscadine grape? Certainly the same size and color I've seen the few times I was in Georgia.

Maybe paw paw?

Definitely not paw paw.

Looks like Black Gum fruit.

Scouting yesterday I come across some plant/bush/shrub I never found before actually in the same woods as I found that other fruit from early in this thread ....this section of woods was dotted with lots of these shrubs with large round oval leathery leafs....big green fruits and multiple brown seeds inside. The couple ripe fruits I found smelled delicious and pretty sweet. Searching around on the interwebs I would place my bet on big flower pawpaw....having never seen this plant before I never studied on it...I had heard of the pawpaw, never realized what a cool plant, specifically here in Florida...I didn't know they even grew here until yesterday.... Florida has 8 different species/subspecies that some are confined to just 1 or 2 counties in the state.....isn't gonna help for deer season I don't think but now my wife and I can go out there and collect some seeds and see if we can have my very own pawpaws.
I get some good pics when we go back to get some fruit

For what it's worth I think pawpaws are like apples. If you plant a seed it'll grow a pawpaw but if you want the same fruit you'll need to graft it. Also check if you'll need a pollinator to get fruit, I'm rusty on that part but you may need 2 varieties.

I need help identifying this plant (circled in red). It's growing in a river bottom and only receives sun in the mornings. I've had my trail camera in this location since early June because its a natural pinch point. My goal was to get pictures of deer just passing through but to my surprise the deer feed heavily on this plant.

I've searched online and the best I could come up with is that it's possibly in the Nettle family? Thanks in advance for your help!

Man to me and what i can see. Theres all kinds of different stuff going on. I see a few. I believe theres some rag weed probably so sort of vetch or nettle. May also be some jewel weed they like water.
here are a few that may or may not be in this pic But, these are just a few examples of great deer browse. I did a thread on deer browse last week. Check it out if you can.
A-lot of good pics in that thread from sll parts of the country.

We wouldn't be looking for it to produce fruit for us but more for having a cool native plant, big pretty flowers, and the butterflies/humminbirds.....but yeah...pollinated by beetles and flies. It's native so pollinators should find it easy enough.

Just an FYI, anyone with and iPhone. You can take a pic of a plant. Open the pic from your library and swipe up. You will then get a bunch of info and a link that says plant- look up. It’s very accurate.

PictureThis Says the following. But if you get a closer photo of the single plant in question the app will be far more accurate.

Is that considered to be one of the best apps. I remember discussion about which ones are good/better/best but kind of lost track of it.

I could be way more attentive of this stuff. I was cutting saplings away from the house on Saturday when my wife says to me "you know you're standing in poison ivy."

I wasn’t in on that discussion but my wife had this app and showed me and I’ve been geeking out taking pictures of all the plants at our new house. This is especially helpful for me in identifying trees.

I have two shag bark hickory, two sugar maples, a sweet gum, persimmon, mockernut hickory, two chinquapin oaks, and a Golden rain tree.

Speaking of poison ivy/oak, this app helped me identify a plant that I thought was poisonous, only to find out that it wasnt. Considering that this plant is prevalent in my hunting area I was glad to know it wasn’t poisonous.

I would recommend it to anyone but I haven’t tried any other apps.

I don't remember the consensus but, I do remember the discussion and I downloaded Picture this afterward so I can only assume it was considered one of the better ones (or best free one). I have been using it for a while and have been impressed with it's accuracy.

Maybe paw paw?

Paw paw have a large seed typically and are sort of a bean shaped fruit here, kinda taste like tropical custard.

Your very lucky to have found it, if it's a female Paw Paw, hunt/scout any trails that radiate out from it because the animals will move these plants while foraging and pooping. It will almost certainly lead you to other feeder and bedding areas.
