   So I found this tree growing between two bigger tree's. It has simple/round/toothed/broad leaves and clusters of epignyous black berries. I took a clipping about 2 days ago, so it's already started wilting, but should still be identifiable from the pictures I just took. All my attempts at identifying it on the internet with keys and what not, have been completely fruitless. Perhaps I've discovered a new kind of tree?

   The fruit reminds me of polk berries but the leaves are different.

   Eat a berry, if you don't report back within 24 hours i'll assume they were poisenous and you died.

    I have asked reddit on your behalf. We will get this thing identified if it's the last thing we do. ;)

    It has been identified as: Buckthorn, Rhamnus cathartica - Invasive species, and apparently mildly dangerous for human consumption. Hopefully you didn't like, bake a bunch of Buckthorn pies or some shit.
