Ti Plant (Cordyline fruticosa 'Xerox') |
Have Edible Tender/Not Cold Hardy Tropical |
My specimen may be "Xerox" or "Rooster Tail", or possibly another cultivar, as it is deep to lighter maroon with the narrower fruticosa leaves (not thin, draceana-like), and it was simply labeled "Cordyline" at Walmart. | ||
Wild Lettuce (Lactuca canadensis) |
Have Native Plant Edible Medicinal |
This specimen is around 10' tall so far, without any fertilizer of any sort. The top is high into the limbs of the sweetgum tree as of late June, so it will likely grow taller. | ||
Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) |
Have Native Plant Favorite/Birds Edible |
"Poke Salad" leaves are edible but potentially poisonous if not cooked properly. Berries poisonous to humans, but favored by birds. Berries can be used to make ink or dye. | ||
