>>1594833 is correct. It is a pond apple (Annona glabra.)
>>1595108>How can I tell if it's poison?It won't be. It is more than likely a store variety from one someone dropped or composted. Even the decorative ones are edible. The reason they are "decorative" is because they get super hard skins very early on and you need to eat them when they are about 4 inches long when your thumbnail can still easily pierce the skin. Though, some decorative ones are merely unpalable due to terrible flavor, usually bitter. If any are toxic it will be a bitter one and you wouldn't want to eat it anyway because of the bitterness. Keep in mind that some will not be better when 4" long, but will become bitter as they get older.
>>1594837American Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana.) Specifically, the berries.
>"The highest amounts of poison are found in the roots, leaves, and stems. Small amounts are in the fruit. Cooked berries and leaves (cooked twice in separate water) can technically be eaten. However, this is not recommended because there is no guarantee that they are safe.">"The plant generally gets more toxic with maturity,[10] with the exception of the berries (which have significant toxicity even while green).[13]">Research with humans has also shown that common pokeweed can cause mutations (possibly leading to cancer) and birth defects.">Birds are apparently immune to this poison.[3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytolacca_americana#Toxicity,_poisoning_and_mortalityMeaning, you'd need to have a testing method for the toxins then selecting for plants that have the least amount until you have created a cultivar that has berries free of these toxins,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytolacca_americana#Natural_productsThe plant is ultra easy to cultivate. I grow them just for eating the young shoots in spring.
