Definitely doesn't look like American Pokeweed at first glance. The fruits and flowers look way different from anything I've seen here. Also the spires on P. americana TEND to drupe rather than stand erect (as the plants get really big and heavy). Do you have additional photos of the entire plant and leaves?

Indian pokeweed or Tropical pokeweed would be my first guesses? Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
