Bush with cluster of dark berries | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

I saw this on Cold Mountain in Shining Rock Wilderness. It was growing near a gap just down from the peak.

If it is on a bush, it might be huckleberries. Good to eat but an acquired taste.

My first reaction to the berries was “dewberry” – assuming a real closeup shot – but the leaves don’t match that. But I also see no leaves resembling a grape leaf, and the fox grape clusters I’ve seen are not rounded like that, but tapered at the end like wine and grocery grapes.

Looks like Fox Grapes, but hard to tell from the leaves. Was it on a vine? You say bush, but I wonder.
