Hi experts ;-)

So I allowed this thing to grew in my backyard, till got so huge that was taking all the sun from my other plants. Today I cut it and this is picture of it. Have no idea what that is, any one?
Thanks. Nell

birds eat the berries and drop them everywhere , especially along fence lines , bushes and trees

if you are trying to get rid of them , they can grow large tubers underground that will most likely need to be dug up ,
pulling the up or breaking them off at the soil is usually just a temporary fix , they most likely will keep growing back.
and if you dig them up , birds usually just plant more in other spots if not the same.
