Plant Identification

Could someone please help me identify this plant? It's kind of a cross between a bush and a tree.

It could be a mulberry but not 100% sure.

Not a mulberry 100% sure.

Some sort of Holley?

Looks like a American Holley ?

Not American but certainly looks holly/ilex family.

I was always told that is snake berries. They are poison.

Possibly a winter holly variety

Perfume Bush, or "Georgia Snowball". When the sun hits them while in bloom, the scent will knock your socks off.

Blueberry bush.

Maybe.

mountain holly Aquifoliaceae Ilex montana (mountain winterberry)

You beat me to it RP.

We call it winterberry as well have loads of it on my land and it is deciduous. When leaves have dropped if you don't cut branches till they have dried a little berries will stay on branches and make great holiday decor. Bringing back bundles of them, red twig dogwood, pine boughs and such for the wife makes my trapping forays more acceptable.

Bella Honeysuckle or Bush Honysuckle ------ Maybe a Choke Cherry

Winterberry (Ilex verticillata)

Invasive honeysuckle is what I'm thinking.

Invasive honeysuckle here has light brown shaggy bark and twin, oranger colored fruits. Leaf is also narrower and smaller. usually in full sun locations. Winterberry likes moist, shaded understory.

Coolbrze nailed it. It is a common low ground shrub here. Most folks call it "Michigan Holly". It is also known as winterberry or Black alder. It is a great wildlife shrub. The beautiful red berries are persistent, and usually hang on the bush long after the leaves have dropped. Birds eat the heck out of them. It was a favorite seasonal bouquet addition to my mothers and brides late fall/early winter centerpieces.

Google: Lindera Benzoin
