    This tree has been growing in my grapevine for many years but I have no idea what it is. I know most all the trees here but not this one. Can`t take a pic so I will try to describe it as best I can. The leaves grow in groups of three,,exactly the same as poison ivy and are similarly shaped. but they are waxy on top and larger,. It has clusters of tiny green berries and a lot of them. Have not seen birds eating them and they do not change color, Berries are very small but the clusters are large !! Anyone have an idea what it is ? Going to try to remove it this fall.

    It sounds like a ligustrum, except for the green berries. Ligustrum has berries that turn purple. There are other varieties and some may have green berries.
