Are these berries poisonous?

Inside my blueberry bush grows a small vine. The vine had purple flower clusters that have now turned into bright red berries. Are these berries edible. If you know the name of this flower or berry, please let me know.

Are these berries poisonous?
caution!!!!!!





From your description it sounds like DEADLY NIGHTSHADE get rid of it. It can be fatal to young children and very harmful to adults!





Do not ignore this warning.
Reply:That can describe any number of plants. To be safe, clip a section that includes several leaves, flowers, and berries and take it to a good nursery so they can identify it for you.
Reply:I you don't know what it is DON'T EAT IT !!!!
Reply:If you don't know what it is, don't eat it!
Reply:I may be wrong, but it sounds like china berries?Do not eat them! very bitter.... probably poisonous.
Reply:No i have berries that grow into flowers.
Reply:Without seeing the leaves, I could not say, but, the birds can eat them, as they are only poisonous to humans. Brigth red, fairly hard, perfectly round berries, right?





One is enough to kill you. In fact, half of one would do in a Horse!





But, the very bitter taste would make you spit it out fast! Whether that is fast enough to assure you didn't get poisoned would be a good opportunity for Yahooligans to place their bets.
Reply:Well, I make it a rule to never eat anything I can't identify; Take a cutting includung stem, leaves and berries to your local Cooperative Extension Service or County Agricultural Agent. They should be able to identify it. Also, if you live near a Universisty they make have some one on staff who is a horticulturist (plant specialist). In the meantime handle it only with gloves on.. By the way are the three fingered. Three parts to one leaf. If so, ther is an old saying that says "fingers three, turn and flee".
Reply:no they are normal blue berries... i think ^o)
