Notes:
It started to grow about one year ago almost without us realizing it ant it is now 12 feet high by 16 wide. Apparently it yields two kinds of ears, one consists of small white flowers with a pink center and the other consists of green berries that later turn into dark sour berries

phytolacca dioica? Beautiful! I wouldn’t be eating the berries. Pokeweed berries are considered poisonous. I would totally grow that tree at my house! (if i could), The mocking birds enjoy the fruit, and I think the fruit makes terrific photos…

It looks like a very healthy specimen or cousin of the pokeweed we see in the US South. http://www.walterreeves.com/gardening-q-and-a/pokeweed-poke-sallet/

I don’t immediately recognize it but maybe a Phytolacca of some sort?
