0 John Richmond Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Can't help you with #1 but #2 is Iresine herbstii, beefsteak plant. It's common as a houseplant in the UK and cooler climates so I'd add that to your keywords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 george Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Many thanks John. David, most definitely not Olive, I had a quinta here for a number of years with over 80 olives I had to pick and prune But thank you for trying the first one was taken an hours drive away, maybe I will go back and see if the berries have changed colour and get some more details Edited November 5, 2019 by george Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 edo Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 There are some nice smartphone apps that ID plants; my favorite is probably Pl@ntNet. It identifies the first as Asparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop, but also offers a few other possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
