Back yard tree

[Hist]

Hi guys. I have this massive tree growing in my yard , I haven’t really paid much attention to it before , but any idea what kind of a tree it could be ? Could I get anything edible from it lol

I do NOT know this tree, but it reminds me of Hura crepitans aka sandbox tree which is also referred to as a killer tree - the seed pods are similar. Just in case, I wouldn`t try eating any part of it.

Is there a place that you can send a bit to,to find out what it is, I wouldn't eat any of it until you find out.
How long have you been living there? maybe you could ask the last people what it is.

This is an Ombu tree (Phytolacca dioica), an arborescent species of pokeberry native to the Pampas of South America. The species is well-known for its massively swollen trunk.
