Let's Play a game of Native or Not!
12 years ago
I'm considering becoming a seed saver, but having trouble identifying what is native and what is invasive.
Can you tell if this tree is the native North American Honeylocust or the invasive black locust? Saw it growing by the side of the road in Massachusetts, late August.

Comments (6)Thanks guys! With all your suggestions and my super-power googling I'm quite sure I've got an Echeveria pulvinata, some kind of opuntia, another agave americana, and a bulbine frutescens "Hallmark." Not bad for my first plant exchange! As for #3. the other echeveria, I think it might be "Briar Rose." Crenda, I'm still dazzled - I never even heard the work "opuntia" before this forum!
