I posted this on MaryJane's Farm Forum before I realized I couldn't add my pictures. So, here it is again. I have this viney thing that will eventually bush if left alone. It produces nice purple berries and has gorgeous ivy sort of leaves. With my luck it's either poisonous or a nuisance plant. I can't find anyone to identify it. Care to give it a go? I live in south Arkansas, zone 8 - and it's hardy. It will grow on fences, preferrably, but will just about survive anywhere. Here are the pix:
Post Script:
Thanks for Farmgirl Penny for identifying my mystery plant as Peppervine, or formally known as Ampelopsis arborea. It's a member of the grape family with little nutritional value for the varmits. People can't eat it and it's a monster to kill. So much for my luck. Inedible and a nuisance plant - but it sure is pretty to look at when the berries are ripe!
