Found this on Richland Creek WMA (Trinity River bottom) and don’t know what it is
First saw berries? I thought it was a Chinaberry tree but fruit was translucent and leaves and bark all wrong too

Black walnut?

CTD2011 · 11-08-2019, 10:24 PM

I believe that is western soapberry.

Never heard of such, but looks like it very well could be.

Does it have a nickname? That’s one I don’t think I’ve ever seen if that’s what it is

CTD2011 · 11-08-2019, 10:35 PM

Jaboncillo comes to mind as another name for it.

CTD2011 · 11-08-2019, 10:37 PM

Sapindus saponaria

tex4k · 11-08-2019, 10:40 PM

Or maybe Flameleaf Sumac- very similar to western soapberry!

I’m glad I ran across this thread, I’ve got 3-4 of those on my place just north of Hutto and have been wondering what they are. Images on the google looks like western soapberry is correct

Maybe a pygmy black walnut

"Fruit" was size of chinaberries

Western Soapberry looks like a match

Should have brought some of those home and used them to shower with

Longue Carabine · 11-10-2019, 10:20 PM

Judging by the bark, it's an old one. Western Soapberries dont get very big and dont get really scaly bark until theyre old

Pstraw · 11-10-2019, 11:36 PM

Don't believe I've ever seen one of these.
