Name That Plant!

can anyone help me identify this plant/ vine

8 years ago

We recently bought a home and along one side of the property there is a chain link fence with a massive vine growing on it. During thw winter all the foliage was off but now it is full of leaves that resemble grape vine leaves. On the vine there is also small green berry like things growing on them. The skin is a little thicker then grape skin. Any help would be appreciated because we do have kids at home and I want to know If these are poisonous . Thanks

Wow! You people know your plants. I think you nailed it with the Actinidia Kolomikta. Who would have thought? Kiwi in Alaska? Thanks to all who responded. Great web site! Roy

The twining vine tendrils and the roots are part of the same plant, and in no way as colorful as a Gloriosa lily, which would never willingly naturalize in a chilly summer winter rainfall location such as San Francisco. Your vine and tubers are an asparagus species, common name is Smilax. Much used by florists for cut greens, and useful for climbing a cyclone fence. Invasive in the way that many of the South African vining species of Asparagus can be, as it germinates readily from bird spread seed and can survive on winter rainfall alone along the coast in California. I'd classify it as a weed to be grubbed out along with the ivy...

Hedge bindweed, I do believe. Pretty flowers but aggressive enough to smother aegopodium - and that's really saying something! FataMorgana

You are welcome. Lilies, Amaryllids, and Irids are my favorite plants. Currently I am passionately dedicated to Glads; which I consider the Queens of the Irids. Kindest regards from GERMANY.

what i would call.. a wild grape ...??? [which i wonder about after googling barrons answer???? t]

usually the fruit is rather small.. almost all seed ... and not worth much ...

a bird probably planted it ...

but maybe not .. does the neighbor on the other side of the fence have any knowledge ... maybe the prior owner did his own wine??

there is a fruit forum ... and that is where you might find some grape maven who can ID plants ... beyond our abilities ....

Would also guess muscadine give where you live. Let the fruit get to their full size, and ripen. Then see what you think of them.

Love them. A friend makes a great muscadine jelly.

If they are sort of golden when they get their full size, they will be scuppernongs. also make a good jelly.
