Pmmeyourtoaster, in What is this ON a plant?

The silver maple capitate mite ( Vasates quadripedes ) is a herbivorous mite from the family Eriophyidae . Monophage, haloformer, damages North American maples: silver maple ( Acer saccharinum ), sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ), red maple ( Acer rubrum ). Induces the formation of small capitate galls on the leaves. Comes from North America. In the 20th century, with planting material, it was brought to Europe. Recorded in 1957 in Latvia, currently widespread in Europe on silver maple ( Acer saccharinum ).

Thank you. Can anything be done about it?

ikapoz,

You may not need to, but pesticides can work. Read up.

Hi, arborist here. I would advise against using pesticides to control this issue. The galls are completely harmless to the tree and the pesticides may cause harm both to you if you were accidentally exposed, and definitely to other invertebrates, many of which may be beneficial. Some may even help control the mites in future years.

Ximenia americana looks to be a good match visually and geographically, though I’m unfamiliar with it. The size and seasonality of the fruit make me skeptical of citrus.

Uschaan, in What's this tree? It's growing in a riperian area in Central Texas zone 8b. The multiple trunks behind this front branch are part of it too

Just a guess: some kind of Tilia, linden?

protist,

You’re right!! Looks like it’s a Carolina basswood

Drusas, in What's this tree? It's growing in a riperian area in Central Texas zone 8b. The multiple trunks behind this front branch are part of it too

It always blows my mind that you can be in Texas in zone 8b and I can be in Washington in zone 8b.

PromNightDumpsterBaby, in Does anybody know what plant this is? It's in the Southeast Asia region

Blushing philodendron Philodendron erubescens

Blushing philodendron (Philodendron erubescens) is a climbing evergreen plant that is commonly cultivated as a houseplant. Blushing philodendron is a preferable houseplant because it does not need much regular maintenance. Mature species sometimes produce a reddish-purple flower. This species cannot tolerate lower temperatures.

svncake,

that seems to be it! thanks so much!!

Looks like ground cherry. They’re great. I just eat them fresh. I get some with larger or smaller leaves depending on where in my yard they grow and how much light they get

ocin, in Second ooinion

Some Physalis species, probably tomatillo or groundcherry.

Yep, seconding what others have said, this looks exactly like my ground cherry plants (aka husk cherry, aka Physalus genus). 😄

feralsapiens, in Zone 5/6 - Grass?

It would help people to ID if you can reply with a flower pic (yes, grasses have flowers) and a state, or at least a region. :)
If no one can ID, you can also post it to inaturalist.

meatmeat,

Ah! I though putting the growing zone in the post title might be the same as including the region. I’m in the midwest near Chicago in zone 5/6.

It has not flowered yet so maybe I’ll post again when that happens.

zoobiedoobie, in What is this plant and is it edible?

Try breaking a leaf off and crush it and see how it smells. Most citrus trees have a strong citrus scent. Kinda looks like a super smooth lemon though.

HeliumB0y, in Saw this growing in Southern India.

Acanthaceae according to Google lens

zoobiedoobie,

Thanks. This genus has a lot of species.

feralsapiens, in Zone 5/6 - Grass?

Zones are helpful, but region will help a lot more, and also hopefully call in plant people from the area.
Sadly, not my region. ;-)
