Not only the leaves, but also the root as depicted in VMS is characteristic of ivy. The berries are more of a blue than red, though sometimes they can also be reddish-blue or red—but you have to be careful with the colors in VMS.
Common ivy (Hedera helix) produces berries, but only in its mature form.
Mature form: Usually develops only after many years, once the plant has reached the top and accesses light-rich areas. The shoots are then upright and lack tendrils; the leaves are entire and tend to be diamond-shaped to ovate.
Flowering: Late summer through fall, approximately September through November. It is an important late-season food source for insects.
Berries: They ripen over the winter into spring and are then blue-black. Birds eat them.
Toxicity: The berries are considered poisonous to humans. This is primarily due to saponins (Hedera saponins).
