This is growing in my front field in the shade of a much larger different tree. I thought it was a fallen or dead tree before took off last year. I'm pretty sure the berries turned black last year but I didn't spend much time in that area last year. Im in western Washington state if that helps.

Looks like a Poke Plant. You can eat the leaves before the berries form but not after
My plant ID says red berried elder…99% positive
I’m pretty sure this is just a poke plant.
Right now it’s just teenberry but could grow into elderberry one day
All my elders are just now flowering and I live in the southeast, curious where OP is, climate-wise
I agree that this looks like pokeberry. The leaves don’t look right for elderberry. I have poke berry and elderberry in my yard. We have a lot of elderberry
It’s clearly a young quarter plant. I need one of those myself.

No it’s a quarter
No. It is not.
I’d say they’re a quarter of the way there
Does it smell like your father? If so, then yes it’s an elderberry. Also sorry about your mother being a hamster.
