Q&A - What Is This Plant? - Porcelain Berry

Question:
I have a viney plant that is growing close to my fence. It has large round black berries about the size of grapes. What is it?

Answer:
Chris, horticulturist Jason Reeves and master gardener Stephan Leonard talk about how to spot and what to do if we discover the porcelain berry in our lawns and gardens. This invasive species of ornamental gets spread by birds that eat the grape-like fruit. It's recommended that you remove these when you find them, lest they and their poisonous berries spread throughout your lawn and garden.
