I thought asparagus from a distance, but different up close. Stems are ridged and no soft leaves. Berry has single seed (at least the one I split open) rather than 3-6.

I have added photo 4 to contrast it with Asparagus officinalis (Asparagus) (Asparagus officinalis, the one on the right). It does look like an asparagus, but not a climber and not officinalis.

Why does it look so different from other Asparagus officinalis? Photo 4 shows several differences.
