Does anyone know what kind of berry this is?
Blackberry, Mulberry, Boysenberry?
Obviously they aren't really really ripe yet, but this is the shape:
The plant is in a shady part of our yard, and I hadn't really noticed it because (as you can see), it doesn't really look like anything special.
This is what the flowers look like:

I think this is the plant you are trying to identify. I've never heard of anyone eating the berries:

Hi Katie,
It's Aunt Kathy and the plant is lantana...I think that the berries are not necessarily edible and I would not eat them. I have never had a lantana get to this point and I wonder if it's because of the mild weather there. Hope you and patrick are doing well. :)
It is lantana and the leaves and unripe berries are poisonous and the ripe berries are not poisonous. So make sure the doggies don't think it is part of the ball tree!!!
note to self if Katie and Patrick send berry surprise present do not eat. I think y'all should get matching tattoos like in the picture! What a bonding experience that would be haha!
