Name that tree - Wellington
This is growing in my back garden - I live in Wellington, New Zealand. It's approx 2 meters tall.

Looks like what we call Pokeweed here. 'Phytolacca' It may go by the name of Inkweed where you are.

I don't really think so, though I don't have a better suggestion.
Mark, you called it a tree. Pokeweed isn't a tree. Can you show us the trunk of the tree? Is it single trunked, woody and solid? Pokeweed has a hard stem when it is mature, but the stem is hollow.
Pokeweed flowers are in a long drooping spike:
