Bittersweet nightshade Solanum dulcamara
Commentary
Thank you for your report! Your ID is correct, this is bittersweet nightshade. It is a common weed and is not regulated, but it is one that you can pretty easily control. If you're able to chat with your neighbor, digging out and disposing of plants is effective. Or, you can try an herbicide like Roundup, the one labeled for woody plants may be needed - just be sure you follow the label's instructions and do not spray non-target plants. Best, Lindsey
It’s growing in my neighbors back yard along the fence we share.
