They grow prolifically, with long, long root systems that are almost impossible to get all of, so they always come back. <br /><br />You can see lots of pictures at http://wiki.bugwood.org/Solanum_carolinense<br />Katehttp://www.doubleupfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-73589648773284313882015-09-13T10:44:49.416-05:002015-09-13T10:44:49.416-05:00Regarding the vine plant--ask your friend for a pi...Regarding the vine plant--ask your friend for a picture of the leaves and describe the texture of the leaves. . Are the berries lateral or terminal? Are the thorns blunt or spiked? Does the vine have flowers?<br />Tonya @ My Cozy Little Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289024681312440621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-7904766542585936122015-09-13T05:09:53.173-05:002015-09-13T05:09:53.173-05:00Yes, the first plant is Loropetalum.......... htt...Yes, the first plant is Loropetalum.......... https://www.google.com/search?q=loropetalum&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=628&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ved=0CBwQsAQ4CmoVChMIn5aXl97zxwIVlhSSCh1_4gif<br /><br />The picture with the berries / seed pods; wish more of the plant was shown, like the plant itself or be nice to see what the leaves looked like. Would, maybe make it easier to identify if we could see what more of the plant itself looked like.<br />Different plants grow in different parts of the country, would be nice to know roughly what area this person lives. I would suggest that this person talks a nice cutting of the plant to local nursery and they would probably be able to identify it for them. It could be just about anything as there are many plants that have thorns and get berries/ fruit / seed pods.<br />Sorry I wasn't able to be much help. Maybe someone else will be able to identifyColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-17232291685556909512015-09-13T00:29:36.659-05:002015-09-13T00:29:36.659-05:00The first plant looks like lorapetalum.
