In the five photos, I am showing:
1. Cuttings of the greenish-leafed, greenish-berried vine.
2. More cuttings of the same
3. Cuttings with the reddish berries
4. Live vines with the berries that become reddish-purple that don't taste good.
5. The tree with some berries and the woody vines species also shown in pictures 1., 2., and 3.
The below link should give you five photos with descriptions as I've chosen the detail URL in Flickr.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/frankyguitarwatson/sets/72157622019481266/detail/Below are my own not so sophisticated descriptions of the 3 species I am trying to identify. I basically want to know if these are good vines to have in a squirrel-bird habitat. I have removed many of them as they are beginning to block the light on the maple tree and the arbor vita but I'll let them grow next year if there is no problem. I haven't tried to taste the grape-like berries yet - perhaps that would help in id'ing them. Thank you for any help.
1. Strong woody-stalked ivy with light green leaves and clusters of light green berries.
This ivy grows at the back of my yard - the green berries have little whitish
seeds inside. Just curious whether I should let them grow. Whether poisonous or not, they probably don't hurt birds - but I suspect that they don't eat them since I never find the clusters touched by them.
2. Another ivy with berries that eventually become reddish-purple, a neighbor once said that the berries are poisonous - they don't taste good.
3. Another ivy has little red berries.
Thanks again.
