Sorry. Posted without further detail. I live in upstate New York (Utica area). My mother in law uses these to make fresh berry wreaths and we have no idea what they are. Please let me know if you need further description. Thanks in advance!

It looks like Winterberry Holly, Ilex verticillata. That's not backed up by any evidence except that's what it looks like to me and I would expect it to be fairly common in NY state. They are largish, forest understory shrubs.

Yes. You'll see them every where in Western NY State, where I live, along with swallow wort, garlic mustard, common buckthorn, and other invasive alien species. Search and destroy is the best approach to these. FataMorgana

Looks very much like Virginia Creeper. If it is, you may notice that older growth has a way of clinging to surfaces. Don't know if it's a tendril, a root, or something else. It grows out from the stem, very thin, and terminates in little flattened "pads" that grip wood or concrete block. (I've seen it there. Probably grips other surfaces too.)

That never crossed my mind.... thanks..I really have no idea why I can't attach pictures or the like. Whether using windows XP or my MAC it always rejects any post with a picture or active link... just one of those things.... as for the vine, I've been looking but haven't found anything yet.

many of them are very poisonous ... and the key to that for me.. is little kids who might pop pretty purple berries in their mouths .. it should be dead within the hour of reading this ... but dont worry.. the birds must have a source.. so it will be back.. and you will learn to ID easily ... ken

I agree. Ilex verticillata. We have it here, too. It is in the holly family, like Weedwoman said...
