Any idea? Wife is worried it's poison ivy or something?
Found it growing up a pine tree.

Hi Dep
That looks like a member of the Nightshade family......poisonous.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I wasn't quite sure, so I waited for someone else's opinion.
Definitely not poison ivy.
The things like nightshade are toxic ONLY if you eat them. Poison ivy is a skin irritant which leads to a horrible itchy rash in people who are sensitive to it. Nightshade and other toxic plants do not do that.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
