Berry identification

[2LEYS]

I moved a couple of months ago and I have berry bush of some sort in my backyard and a 2 year old.

So I am trying to figure out what it is so I know if it is poisonous or not.

I have searched all over the net and can't find anything. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to find on the net. But type in just about anything and you get adult sites. Go figure.

Anyway if any one knows a site with Oregon plant and berry identification could you post it. Or if you know this berry.

It is smaller than a grape. It is a dark purple/reddish color with a star shaped indent on the rop of the berry. The leaves are green with smooth edges with the tip comint to a point. The bush itself has no thorns or anything. HELP.

There is one very common plant in Oregon which you should watch out for, belladonna. It is a vine with tri-lobed, non-serated leaves, small purple flowers with a yellow stamen and produces small red berries that are poisonous.

Does it look like THIS.

This web site says they are not very poisonous, however the Oregon Poison Control Center says they are quite poisonous. If you have any questions, give them a call. It might be worth noting their contact info as they are a very handy resource.

Cancel this..it is just a blueberry.

But if someone knows a good book or website on Oregon plant and berry identificatiob it would be handy.
