    The first are growing among my sister's grapevines. but they have red stems instead of the green/brown of the grapes and we noticed the leaves are different. Are these a different type of grape ? and are they safe to eat ?
    the second is a bush growing at my sisters.. Does anyone know what kind it is.. has berry's on it with white pulp and a greenish center.

    The first two photos are Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia; family Vitaceae). Fruit not very palatable, but not poisonous, either.

    The next two photos are a species of dogwood (Cornus). Fruit probably not edible (this varies a bit from species to species in the genus; a few are edible, most aren't).
