Nice image!!!
In the south it's Poke salat, Made with the leaves,having seen but never eating, it looked like what I used to feed my pigs!!
The berries also make a great natural dye.

Poke Weed, berries are poisonous to humans, but birds can eat them.
I do not know much but have read where some eat poke weed but maybe not the berries. Do a search on the internet.

They eat the stems and leaves, at an early plant age, prepared a special way, after a couple of boilings, but not the berries.

Very attractive, Jim and need to check on our poke plants, but don't believe our berries are that far along yet!

At age 3 or 4 a friend and I ate poke berries and had our stomachs pumped out at the hospital. At age 43 a friend offered me poke salad which I reluctantly ate and found it to be delicious.
