This poke berry plant is growing in the large fork where my live oak divides. This same nook has also been the past home to a small magnolia that I pulled out at least three or four times-- always feeling a little guilty. Some bird or squirrel probably dropped a seed that fell into just enough deposited organic matter to take root.
We never know where we will send out roots or where our seeds will drop and bear fruit.

What fun! Mother Nature loves your oak as much as you do!
I have some questions about poke berry, which is now growing in our yard. Is it a weed? Should I keep it? It's in a place where it's not in the way, and if it grows into a bush would actually be a good buffer from next door.
"We never know where we will send out roots or where our seeds will drop and bear fruit." What a profound observation. I'll have to ponder that one for awhile!
