It is a perennial that goes by many names one of the most common being Poke Salad. Other names include poke, pokebush, pokeberry, pokeroot, polk sallet or ombú. Although some places in the southern U. S. eat this plant it is poisonous to humans and other mammals. However, birds do eat the berries and expel them whole which helps the plant to spread. Randy,
