I'm in the Pacific Northwest in the Pugest Sound Maritime climate. We have this ivy / berry vine that's evergreen and has dark purple berries. I'd really like to know what the plant is and if it's edible. Even if inedible, it provides really good habitat and feed for birds, but it is somewhat invasive.
I used to live in Nehalem on the north Oregon coast and there were a couple of resident elk herds that would browse through town occasionally and they loved the ivy. I had some growing up the siding of my house and they would pull it off and chomp away on it. Its too bad it is so invasive because its a beautiful plant and grows very well in the PNW.
