    We have this wild bush that continues to multiply. It grows on a very large stalk that you can break with your foot if you step on it. The plant itself is really bushy and has clusters of purple berries on it that the birds eat. It has grown up to about 6ft tall. Now I am finding them popping up everywhere. It also has large leaves. Does anyone know what this bush could be? We never planted it. Thank you for any info.

    I have no pics yet cause the berries are not ripened yet but hope to get some soon. It does not have have thorns. The berries are very smoothe. We have raspberry, blackberry and blueberry bushes in our yard that we planted. Thank you for your reply.
