Question
Hi, I have another plant identification question for you. What is this plant with fruit found in mid-October in Winchester, Mass? I'm sorry I don't recall the details of the local habitat. Thanks!
Answer
BrooklineBiker, your plant is Rhamnus cathartica (European buckthorn). It is a non-native plant that is often invasive in disturbed habitats. It has become quite common in many parts of New England.
