What kind of fruit/veggie bud is this?

[Wood River]

I have an area in my yard with blackberries and grapes. I didn’t clean it out or trim anything this year and this “new” thing is budding between everything else. Can anyone tell me what I’m looking at?

I believe it is pokeberry.

I believe it is pokeberry.

Oh that’s interesting. And toxic from what I recall.

It looks very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.....

Yep, I Googled it. It's Pokeberry and it's poisonous. I'd chop it down.

Yup, that will be tomorrow mornings project! Fortunately, I have green grapes. Apparently pokeberry looks just like purple grapes.

Thank you both for your input.

It's grape look alike, and someone may it by mistake thinking it's grapes, especially if they know you grow grapes.
