Does Anyone Know of Any Poisonous Plants That Grow in North Alabama?

@jackrabbit10 Actually it's poke sallet. I ate it every spring when I was a kid. But not the berries which form later in the summer.

@MoveAlong I live in Tn, not far from Ala, as a kid we ate it in the spring of the year, we all ways called it Polk salad never knew the real name, was told it was poison ,if not cooked, we boiled it. squeezed all the water out. fried with eggs in bacon grease it will give you the runs,

@jackrabbit10 My parents and grand parents cooked it in a similar way. it was mighty good. The way I remember it is they looked for young plants that were about 10-20 inches tall. They only picked the tender new growth leaves. After the plant gets older it loses its taste and gets tough. I could be wrong but I believe only the berries are poisonous which form in mid to late summer. By then the plant is maybe 5-7 feet tall.

@MoveAlong it grows all around my yard. and road sides, the birds eat the seeds ,the bird droppings are purple ,
