What do you put if you aren’t sure if a plant is wild? For example, I’ve found plants that might have been cultivated at some point but they might have been abandoned. On public land, i see some specimens that may or may not be cared for. Should I check cultivated?

Not Wild on iNat does not mean ‘cared for’ despite the fact that they call it Cultivated. If you think it was planted by someone = Not Wild If it is a seedling from the original plant = Wild

Cultivated, Wild, Escaped, Unsure?
