ASPARAGUS FERN? My asparagus fern developed one berry sized green ball on it that has since turned red.?

Its pea-sized but theres only one. Is this a seed?

Yup. You've been a Constant Gardener; Your A. Fern has "turned 18" ! Congratulations! You can expect many more flowers AND little berries- in the Summer to come. :)
Reply:Yes. At least if the asparagus fern behaves like real asparagus. The female asparagus plants put out green berries that turn red and contain the seeds for asparagus plants. I recommend that you cut this berry off because if you don"t the plant puts all its energy into seeding and will begin to die off.
Reply:What a good momma, your asparagus fern is happy....Lets you know though that its not a true fern. Ferns reproduce by spores, what you have is a seed pod.
