Question
This has been growing up from under my deck for several years. I always cut it back and it grows back vigorously. My deck is in a full sun location with poor clay soil and I am located in south central pennsylvania. It is a woody plant and appears shrub like or almost like a woody vine although it does not seem to cling or twine. Any idea what this is??
Answer
Dear Ironborn, the plant you have posted an image of is Solanum dulcamara (climbing nightshade), in the Solanaceae (nightshade family). It will produce bright red fruits later in the season if the flowers are allowed to mature.
