    Pokeweed – Phytolacca americana

    Native plant. Toxic, not edible.. although some folks in the southeast heavily boil them to remove toxins and eat them

    Definitely pokeweed.. root and berries are used in folk medicine, all part of the plants are toxic.

    There’s also some kind of aster (Symphyotrichum sp.) in there
