Thanks Melissa. You led me down the right path! It's not Chokecherry unfortunately because the leaves are opposite each other. It spears from what I read and other pics that it's Buckthorn - non-edible.

I know. Berries look similar but Pokeweed berries come on a separate red stemmed cluster. It's not pokeweed. Thanks!
