| I was recently visiting a farm in Southern Ontario, Georgian Bay region, and noticed this vine, fighting with wild grape vines for control of trees, fencelines, etc.
I noticed from a dozen or so observations that this vine was growing only where the wild grape vines grew, and not on it's own. Not 100% sure of this, but only noticed it where grape vines grew, or remnants of grape vines, as this vine took control I have posted a pictures, at the link below or:
The berries are smooth on the bottom, not like blueberries.

| Andy, it's a common wild grape vine. |
|
| Can you elaborate, Kay? Would you have a name for it? As I mentioned, it's fighting the green, broad leaf, wild grape vines, which produce "bunches of grapes", so I know it's not the "typical" wild grape, which I'm used to seeing, as I make wine from those. As you can see from the pic, these grapes are very individual. As well, the tradtional "wild grape" stays green into sept/oct, these leaves are not green. Andy |

| No, I don't have a species name - it just looks like the one that grows wild in our Missouri scrub lands and woods. |
|
| I did a bit more research and I think it's a "black chokeberry" plant. I'll confirm it with a farmer who has lived in that area his whole life, next week, and let you know if you like. Andy |
