OK, you FReeper arborists helped identify the strange pod-bearing tree in my front yard (it's a Magnolia).
Now I need help figuring out what kind of plant this is.
It's a hardy ground cover that grows crazy fast.
Bees seem to dig it, although it's not Bees' Bliss.
I've seen something similar to it referred to as an icewine plant, but that's the only real reference to that name that I can find.

Red Apple Ice Plant
To: martin_fierro
commonly known as “red apple” ice plant. It is a great fire barrier. Down side is, it does attract bees. Up side is it attracts bees.

That won’t work. I don’t think that anything short of a tactical nuke will put a dent in ice plant.

The Iceplant is an aggressive invader that belongs in South Africa, not Uruguay. Destroy it.
