Europeans use imported Hickory for high class tools.
We're not stupid, you know.

Anyone know what this shrub is? It appears to be evergreen, and the berries are bigger now and turning black. Pics were taken a couple months ago.

Ligustrum

Thanks! Looks like I should cut it out. I wasn't really familiar with privet, though I know the name. I have some other shrub in the backyard I thought /might/ be privet, but apparently not. It started, looked like it might get interesting looking, but never really did. It's non offensive, so I left it.

I downloaded the pictures into the Picture This app and it came up with Japanese privet/ligustrom. I know Brett already gave the correct answer but it’s fun to play with the app and test its accuracy. I think Cory spoke highly of it several months ago.

I think I should know, but I don't know, ya know?
Have to remove it after a service drop.

No idea, but it's a pretty tree. Too bad it's coming down.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Same thoughts.

I'm a little angry with myself for my ignorance.

Atlas cedar, cedrus atlanticus.

Atlas cedar, cedrus atlanticus.

yes, but that’s a Glauca, cos it’s blue.

 

[stig]

Yep, Cedrus atlantica var. glauca.
That is the only one we have here, so I didn't think to mention it.

 

[Burnham]

That is a beauty of a tree. Shame.

Thank you!
