It looks ornamantal and non-edible.

My mom had these growing as a border between us and a neighbor years ago? The leaf pattern and shape look the same as what we had

HOw tall is the plant?

Do not eat it I cannot think of the name but do know it is posionist are however you spell that. Will try to think of the name.

..the best bet would be to take it to the extension or a master gardner... safer too!

Red huckleberries are not native to Ohio. Look at the leaves--are they opposite each other or alternate. If they are alternate it is a huckleberry (Vaccinium) If they are opposite it's a honeysuckle(Lonicera. JoAnn

I have one of those bushes growing by my garage and it's really quite lovely, but I didn't plant it!! It just showed up 10 years ago and I love it, but do notice the birds don't eat the berries, so figure they're probably not edible. My guess only......Lin

Looks like honeysuckle berries, there are many species most our mildly poisonous. JoAnn

If you really want to know, you could try your local extension office. The one in our area seems to be able to answer any question we can come up with.

well my thought is.. in case it is edible i would want to know for sure. if it is it looks like jelly to me. i would call the county extension agent. i would take a sample directly to them to verify what it is. if it is edible and grows wild it might be a fine food. please let us know. maybe a neighbor would know since they live in your neck of the woods. happy days sherrye

It does NOT look edible. It looks similar to a Nandina, only they have berries in clusters. I do not think I would try it.

Whatever it is, it doesn't look edible.
