Looks like a creeping fig.
Is it near water? Can it be a type of mangrove, aviccenia marina?
I used the app called PictureThis and it came back with:
Creeping fig (Ficus pumila) is a plant species native to China, Japan and Vietnam. Creeping fig has been naturalized in parts of the United States. It can be cultivated as a houseplant. The FDA lists this species in its Database of Poisonous Plants due to the plant’s toxic sap, which causes inflammation.
That’s one of the coolest apps in the world, I use it all the time
It looks beautiful. It also looks like it could weigh down a fence really quickly.
Check out the website eat the weeds. It looks like a creeping fig. They say it is mistakenly said to be inedible. It is eaten, once ripe it will be purplish in color, then you squeeze the juice out and cook it down, sweeten as desired. Commonly favored with lemon. It makes a hello like beverage.
Jello like beverage..
