I am having trouble identifying a vine and shrub I found growing in my
backyard.

I have images of both plants here.

Has the page been changed?
I see just seven images of one plant there, labelled "unidentified
shrub".

It's a Solanum species, S. nigrum or one of its close relatives,
in other words a "black nightshade".

[potatoes, tomatos, eggplant, etc. are all more distant Solanum species]

It's generally considered a herb, not a shrub or vine, but such
growth form boundaries are often pretty fuzzy.

USA
Zone 8
Both are probably ornamental/invasive species

The Shrub is 1m high
Leaves: Alternate, not toothed
Flowers: White 5 peatals
Fruit: is still green with attached sepals, and forms 1 to 4

The Vine
Leaves: Alternate, dark green, not toothed, alternate
Flowers: White, 4 petals
Fruit: None

Hope this helps.
