  • Question

    What is the name of this shrub found near Pelham Bay Park

    Answer

    Dear BxForager, you appear to posted a photograph of a species of Ligustrum (privet), a non-native member of the Oleaceae (olive family). I cannot tell you which species of Ligustrum you have without closer images showing the type of hairs found on the branchlets. Hopefully, knowing the genus will be of use to you. Best wishes.
