A gardener in Pensacola, Florida, had a vine covering two large dead pine trees with what appeared to be fruit. They wanted to know the vine and if the fruit was edible.
Vine with fruit
The photo was unclear; the white structures looked more like unopened flowers than fruit. Plants are classified by flowers. The expert couldn't find vining plants in the area with white fruit like that. They recommended taking a sample in a sealed bag to a local garden center or contacting the Florida State University Agriculture Department. The vine likely smothered the pines.
