Hi, I just moved to my new house just north of Houston, TX and I have been seeing multiple aggregate berries around the property! I am very new to this and would greatly appreciate it if you can help confirm the ID!
1st pic: I think these are blackberries based on their berries/leaves, they grow in this very large (and tall) bush with multiple flowering plants
2nd pic: I think these are dew berries! They are on the ground and spread out across a small field, and they seem to change from a bright red to dark purpleish color
3rd pic: I am pretty sure these are mulberries, maybe Texas mulberries? The leaves on this tree are HUGE and the berries seem to start off white/green and go to a red then dark red/purple color!
4th pic: Mock strawberries, I think? They are very low to the ground in a different area and have small yellow flowers (I think strawberries are supposed to have white ones, but it also looks very different than a strawberry when you get up close)
Please let me know if I am wrong about any of these! And thank you in advance 🙂

Confirming.
Sounds right to me, though there are several blackberry-like species in the Rubus genus and I can’t discern them. 4 is mock strawberry the way it stands up instead of hanging down and yellow flowers should confirm it.
