Identifying berries (photos, summer, working) - Western North Carolina - North Carolina (NC) -The Mountain Region including Asheville - City-Data Forum

I've been working to identify all the berries I see here in the mountains all summer, but one has eluded me. Hoping someone might help...

The plant is around 6 feet tall, with a strong stem of a very reddish color. Berries seem to start reddish, then turn to black or dark purple. Sound familiar to anyone??

Thanks!

You're sure to get a better response if you post some photos.
