Default Help Identify Climbing Vine

Not Bittersweet. Both are Hedera helix, the juvenille and adult fruiting
phases.

Actually Bittersweet has yellow capsules that split open to reveal the seeds
with a fleshy red coat. Hedera helix has blackish berries.

Here's some pics I took today of the vine. It seems I might have 2

seperate
vine breeds on the tree.

pic 625 is English Ivy

pic 624 may be Bittersweet. The bittersweet berries are bright red in
the fall with a darker brown shell that opens around them. If the
berries are old, or were frozen prior to openning, it could account
for the brown colcor now.
