This bush or tree has come up with berries on it. I have tortoises and need to find out if the berries are poisonous. The berries start green and then turn black.

Pokeweed, Phytolacca americana. No idea if the berries are poisonous to tortoises or not. I think they're poisonous for people, but birds eat them and I'm not sure which one a tortoise would be closer to!

Boy, that was quick. I not sure which one the tortoises would be closer to so I guess it gets pulled up.

Thank you for the quick replies.
