Invasive Red Berries? #849408

Asked September 11, 2023, 10:59 AM EDT

Hi. I was wondering if this bush is an invasive. I think it is False Solomon Seal. One follow up question, is whether MSU Extension could recommend a free plant Identifier App. Thanks.

Hi Deanna,

It does indeed look like false solomon's seal. You can read more about it at the University of Michigan herbarium. It is native to Michigan. 

Here is an article that looks at plant ID apps. None of them are perfect. If you scroll to the bottom of the article, there is a graphic that ranks apps, but if you read through the article, it's actually interesting!
