I have a vine climbing on my fence. It has leaves in clusters of 5 and it grows small dark berries. I can't figure out what it is or if it's edible or not. Anyone know what this is?

And, for what it's worth, you probably shouldn't eat the berries, although they are beloved by birds.

There are just a few people who are sensitive to the plant sap; handle with gloves.

I agree, that's "Virginia Creeper Vine" which as you can see by some of the photo's in the database gets beautiful color in the fall!
