    I found this plant growing on a fence near a park in the Bronx. Can you help me to identify it?

    Answer

    Dear BxForager, the liana you have photographed is Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle). This woody plant with opposite entire leaves has black berries for a fruit. As its name suggests, this species is native to Asia. Best wishes.
