    Good Day,

    I need help identifying this vine. It covers a large area of some fencing and love it. But I have no idea what it is. Thought it was a Boston Ivy, but the leaf shape is wrong.

    Dark green, shiny in the summer months, 5 leaf clusters, very red in the fall with purple berries in the fall. Need constant pruning to keep it in check.

    Parthenocissus sp. (P. quinquefolia or P. inserta depending on whether it has adhesive pads at the end of its tendrils or not)
