A tree with white berries?

[Shewie]

Whilst out gathering blackberries this evening I came across a tree which I've seen before but can't think of the name.

Round lobed leaves, in vivid burgundy and lime colour, almost ivy like. Leaves are paired opposite with white pea sized berries at the ends.

Can't think of the name so help me out.

I've grabbed a sample but the tree books are up in the loft temporarily and the camera batteries are flat.

Wasnt a white fruited mulberry were it Rich?

 

[Shewie]

No mate, two or three berries max on each stem, perfectly round garden pea sized

Just found some batteries so I'll get a piccy up in a mo

 

[Shewie]

These batts are flat too, piccy tomorrow

Snowberry (symphoricarpos albus)? Seems a bit early for it though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/11587.shtml

Hope it helps or at least rules one out.

My first thoughts were ivy becuase of the colours on the leaves, the pics on the web have large clusters of berries thoug rather than just two or three per stem.

Pics up later

A couple of piccies ....

I saw quite a few of them so I don't think it's anything particularly special, just curious
