The first one grows like a vine. The second one is a tree. (i think this is called liquid amber) And the third one is a plant. Can you tell me if these are okay for my sulcata? Thanks :)

No idea on the first. Could the second be a Sweetgum? Pretty fall colors and a unique spikey ball seed pod?

Yes!! The second one does have those little spikey balls! Is it edible?

Does the "lierre" have those spikey balls? I just googled it and the trunk and leaves seem to be a little different. But I'm not an expert!!

No, they look like this. But shrivel a little bit and turn brown. They fall off and there's tons of them every year!

#2: liquidamber and sweetgum are the same thing and that is what it looks like to me...lierre seems to be a french name for anything w/Ivy-type leaves: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lierre, but usually genus Hedera http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lierre


#1 looks familiar but I cannot think of where I saw it last or what it's called. I'm sure you'd find it labeled and for sale in a nursery or home depot or lowes or whatnot

So is number two edible?
The vine one has purple or white flowers in spring I think. But I'm not positive. I've never had a reason to pay attention to them until now!

Sweetgum is safe to eat, but it doesn't seem like something torts would like.
