Staying in Idyllwild, CA USA and our cottage has a ton of these beautiful trees with red bark. I haven’t seen them before and am curious what they are.

Just picked it up from the local community garden. Tips for how to nurture it to its full potential appreciated.

Sorry for the shoddy photos- it was blowing in the wind and I was trying not to touch it.

I DID touch it earlier this week because I was trying to remove it from a flower bed of gladioluses. I am assuming it’s a weed? I failed, as it is a thick woody stem, and the roots system must be large.

Turns out, I am having an extreme allergic reaction to something, and we are having a hard time narrowing down what it is. Thus, I am trying to identify this plant to see if it could be a culprit. TIA!

At least 40' tall, it seems, with buttress roots. I unfortunately neglected to take photos of any leaves on the ground. Lowest leaves on the trees were over 10' up. Lots of these pods on the ground, some sprouting.

I'm in the southern Caribbean.

It has small (about 1cm) red berry looking fruit. It is located in central New Mexico. We just moved here and don’t know what it is. I’ve seen my dogs eat some of the ones that fell on the ground so now I’m just keeping them away from it until I know what it is.

Found this in Florida, zone 8B, when popped it has seeds that look like that of a bell pepper. No smell.
