What is this vine? #401836

Asked May 23, 2017, 7:06 AM EDT

Wondering what this is and if I should be cautious in removing it. The shiny leaves look poisonous. Thank you!

Expert Response

We think this is either a wild grape (Vitis)  or Porcelain-berry (Ampelopsis).
It is not poisonous, but we'd wear protective clothing/gloves for removal because it's growing within thorny barberry.
(Both porcelain berry and barberry are invasive).
