I've been trying to ID a couple trees which are on my street. I'm in Michigan but these were planted decoratively so I don't know if they're native.
The trees themselves are about ten feet tall, with a single, straight, fairly round trunk. Two trees have many berry clusters, and the other two have none whatsoever; they look like the same species but I suppose I could be wrong about that.
The unripe, green berries have a unique visual texture which reminds me of the skin of citrus fruit. Ripe berries have a uniform black / dark purple color, and contain five black seeds. Whether ripe or green, the berries feel oily and have a strong odor when crushed. It's hard to describe a smell, but I would say it's lemony and walnutty and a little grassy.
Ripe berries are black inside and their flesh easily separates into separate grains, which I assume are huge single cells similar to the interior of a watermelon. I think these huge cells are what give the green berries their mottled appearance. A few berries have dried up on the tree and become brown like a soapberry might.
The leaves are pennate and seem very similar to black walnut leaves. They are more matte than shiny. I haven't gotten any rash from handling the berries, but haven't handled the leaves much.
Dangling cluster, and a glimpse of the trunk
The berry clusters branch internally, somewhat like grape clusters, though they don't tend to form a dangling point as much. The berries themselves are smaller than a typical blueberry or grape.
Just googling for various photos, I haven't found anything with the same mottled look when unrip

wiki I can only seem to find 2D representations and I'm trying to understand the 3D orientation of the muscle fibres and subsequently calculate fibre length and physiological cross sectional area. If they are arranged radially it would seem that density would be higher or diameter smaller at the centre of the arrangement, which doesn't seem correct. I'm hoping for a good graphic or reference, or failing that a good explanation. Thank you!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms
There hasn't been a post all year!
It was about a weak back.
