Perhaps Callisia fragrans. Did you see the parent plant? Was it a trailer?

A baby dracena?

not acai. the color of the 'tentacles' where the fruits are attached are a light brown/white color on acai palms. acai is also a clumping palm, so did you notice multiple trunks coming out of a single root system? also acai is a tall palm (60+ feet) so it wouldnt fruit until its well overhead. it does have a slender trunk though like the photo. and finally to truly identify palms youll need to look at the leaves aswell as the fruit and fruit clusters. beautiful palm though

I am slightly paranoid, so when I see something that looks even vaguely like garlic mustard, I get it out. Those leaves look like garlic mustard leaves; did you notice any smell when you crushed/tore a leaf?

Hi, Randy Man. Are you aware that there is a forum just for plant ID here on Houzz and Gardenweb called Name that Plant? Typically folks start a new post for each new plant they want IDed because a new post gets more eyeballs than if you add to a post that has appeared before. Here are the direct links for GardenWeb and Houzz. You will see the same posts in both. https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/namegal https://www.houzz.com/discussions/name-that-plant

Perhaps, but I would need more info to be convinced. Leaf texture and stem shape especially. Callisia fragrans

A view of the stem would be helpful, I think...

If the edges of the leaves can cause a paper cut, it's not Dracaena and I would think it is Callisia too. Also, if the leaves snap before bending very far, but it does not look like there are enough leaves to give it that "test" yet.

It looks like a cast iron plant to me. Aspidistra. Similar to a corn plant, but a corn plant has a yellow stripe down the center of the leaves.

Definitely resembles callisia more than dracaena or aspidistra. I have the first 2 in my yard. Aspidistra I've seen has multiple narrow stems rather like palm seedlings.

Agree - 100% not Aspidistra, whose leaves arise directly from the ground on individual petioles. An entirely different growth habit from either Callisia or Dracaena.
