Hello @pickle 

Thanks for sharing that photo of your plant. It looks like it's a Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus tricuspidata), one of its identifying traits is its five-leaflet pattern. 

Virginia creeper leaves can irritate highly sensitive people. The berries are toxic to both people and pets, it is an invasive plant and I recommend removing it from your garden.

Please make sure to wear personal protection such as garden gloves, and goggles when removing toxic plants. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Eric
