Hello everybody, i'm new here and happy to be in this community. I have some problem on the identification of these two plants. The photo are took by myself, based on the mediterranean area and took the 27 December of 2018. I made a photo of the plant and a particular ( bad quality i'm sorry) of the leaf. I'm sure the first plant (First two photos) is a Pytolacca but i'm looking for the name of the specie. The second plant, i have no idea of what is it.
The first looks like Ficus to me, from the tree above it. Any photos of fruits from that tree? The second also looks like it's from the tree above it. Are you still near this tree? Are the leaves the same? Do you have flower or fruit photos?
Well, the first one i'm sure the gender is Pytolacca. Right here all the plant of gender ficus are actually nudes and without leaves. The second one is not so close of the othe tree, i didn't notice any flower or fruit.
That's pretty interesting, and does look like the photos. Although this species is from South America, I see an eBay page that I think is in Italian offering seeds of fitolacca arborea, a synonym (not a valid synonym), with a comment that they would be suitable for a Mediterranean climate. And here is a page with Mediterranean locations: Ombú trees (Phytolacca dioica) worldwide.
That's the Italian vernacular name, not a scientific name synonym! Agree that pics 1-2 are Phytolacca dioica. There are other tree-size species in the genus (e.g. Phytolacca weberbaueri) but only P. dioica is commonly cultivated.
