I have posted this fruit a few months ago. Unfortunately, until now I don’t know the name of the fruit, either in my language or in a local name, moreover in English.
Do you remember about this fruit? If the photo I shared earlier I took the vacant field during the day, this one I took the last night in my backyard. Yes, now these weeds are growing on my yard too.
I am still feeling curious about these plants, especially the fruit whose diameter is only about 2 millimeters.

Just curious… Who knows that the very small fruit can take me to heaven… Hehehe… at least my tongue.
Okay… okay… I’ll obey your suggestion, Ta. Thanks for your care…
It looks cute, but don’t taste it if you are not sure what it is.
Apparently… Nobody in this community let me taste it… Okay. Thanks for your advice.
People care about you! 😉
Thank you for your care, and of course all my friends here, Ellie.

Lacho must have nailed the right answer for you. Lingonberry.
No, it’s not Lingonberry. Please observe the shape of the leaves and fruit. Only the color is close to similarity.
I am not sure. If it is edible, it could be wax apple or Java apple (known in my region as Champakka and in Philippines as Macopa).
No, it’s not Champakka or Macopa which in my country is called “jambu air” (jambu = guava, air = water), Mohan. I am so familiar with jambu air, besides this fruit is much smaller (only 2 – mm) and with differences in types of plants too.
Then I wouldn’t know. I guess this one must be a wild plant albeit an interesting one.
That’s okay, Mohan. That’s why I still feel curious!
Thank you so much.
I don’t know what this is and I’d rather suggest that you don’t eat it until you will find out if it is poisonous or not.
Apparently, like other friends, you also don’t agree if I taste it. Okay… I accept your suggestion, John.
I remember the pictures, but unfortunately I do not know if that would be. Please do not try to find out the name of this plant. Maybe it’s poisonous.
I’m glad that you still remember this plant, Vida.
well, it seems that nobody agrees or supports my intention to taste the fruit. OK… Thank you…
Thank you for following our advice ?
If you’re going to eat it, I rather you feed your cats or a rat or a dog…
if you think that’s cruel, then why be cruel to yourself?
Alright… Looks like you are my wise advisor this time.
I never ever eat anything in the wild or a bloom in my yard even if someone tells me it is ok. Why take the chance of it being poisonous? The birds will enjoy it.
Just curious about how it feels, Carol… Even eating a thousand won’t make your stomach fill…
Well it makes for nice photos. I like the bright red.
Yep! At least interesting as a picture… But… do you think it’s sweet? lol
Probably not. I have these red ones on my holly bushes. They are poison to us but not the birds.
I must obey your firm attitude in this matter, Carol. LOL
That certainly looks poisonous. Great macro there Albert!
What traits do you see from the fruit so that you consider it poisonous?
It is red and shriveled. Red ones tend to be toxic.
Geez, Kim. There are so many red fruits and so many of em are edible fruits, so how can we make sure of it…? Is shriveled the keyword?
If you don’t know what it is, then don’t eat it. Typically wild berries that are red are poisonous. But yes there are so many red fruits available.
I have no idea what this could be, dear friend …. if you do not know? I recommend that you do not try because you do not know … it can also be toxic
I definitely pay attention to your advice, dear friend. thanks. I’m not too sure it’s toxic, it’s just curious and want to make sure.
Curiosity can cost you a lot, dear friend … it should be eaten by birds or it should be shameful … if the birds do not eat it is certainly not edible
Well, it seems that nobody agrees or supports my intention to taste the fruit. Okay… I obey your advice and care… dear friend.
I knew you were smart enough not to do this, dear friend
Thank you for your praise and kindness, dear friend.
With great pleasure, dear friend
I have no idea what it is, but it is best to admire them and leave them for birds!!
I still admire them, too, and that’s why I still refrain from tasting it.
Good choice, Albert! Virily needs you!?
Hahahaha… It’s not that Virily needs me but just doesn’t want to be responsible if I have convulsions…
I wouldn’t taste the fruit unless you know its safe
That’s why I still refrain from tasting it.
I would say don’t taste this. you never know, there is a reason why the berries are so read. Either it is meant to kill you, or the plant wants its seeds spread around the world!
But it looks like the fruit is too small to pose a threat so far, Doc.
If the plant wants to spread throughout the world, how is it done?
birds eat the berries and plant the seeds in fertilizer.
Ah yeah… That’s right if dealing with birds…
birds, deer and other grazing animals are the primary spreading systems for seeds.
Bees of course (butterflies and others) are the primary spreading system for pollen!
Yes, but those who migrate only birds… north to south and back again…
It is why some of the islands in the south pacific that pop from the ocean floor, in 10,000 years have plants growing. Seeds dropped in fertilizer grow well
That’s a very impressive scientific fact.
We call it marongay , I don;t know what other call it
Is the name of the plant marongay the same as moringa oleifera? If what you mean is Moringa plants, I don’t know whether Moringa is fruiting and I’m sure it’s a different plant or not Moringa. If what you mean is not moringa (we call moringa as kelor) then you make me even more curious because when I search about marongay, I only found it in the Filipino language for Moringa plants.
Check if the same plant is Vaccinium vitis-idaea. I can not index it well in the picture. If it’s what I give you as a name is very useful to the body.
Thanks for your input. I am not sure it is a type of berry considering the shape of the plant and the leaves are different from the various types of berries in general.
I really do not know. Probably such a bull does not grow on our climate.
But we remind you of some kind of hawthorn.
I think this plant is typical of tropical plants…
LOL don’t taste anything you are not sure about.
Haiyaaa… Looks like you are worried I will convulsions if I taste it…
if you don’t know if something is poisonous, just assume it is. also, in nature bright red things are usually poisonous…
Hmmm… You made me imagine how humans first ate strawberries or other bright red fruits.
it is supposed that our ancestors watched animals and ate what they did
You are right about that, but I am sure it is only one way, for example, about how they can recognize various medicinal plants in various forms. Ah, yea… This is somewhat out of context…
sorry man, I derailed your thread
I don’t recommend tasting something that completely unknown to us. Perhaps you can bring a sample to the proper office for checking.
You have a good suggestion because I’m really curious, but… I’m a bit lazy to go to such an office just to ask about this… You know, sometimes I’m also a slacker! Hehehe…
We have those here, but I forgot the name. i tasted this, a little, even if BF restricted me from taking a little juice. lol
I am still alive at this time, i just tasted a little extract.
Hmmm… I began to see a little light in the distance…
and hey… I’m glad to know that you’re fine after tasting it. What about the taste?
bitter and separates to the saliva. hey where are you!
