I've only just learned that this is a highly invasive, poisonous plant. And there are many very large ones in my yard!

@margonaut yes, they can really take over- but if you're into weaving and natural dyes, the berries are a great dye stock. The birds love them too. But it's a good idea to cut them back as much as possible if you're going to be gardening. Thanks for stopping by Margonaut!
