Question
Hello Go Botony, Here I have a shrub that randomly grows here in Salem Sound, Massachusetts. I would greatly appreciate an ID. I have not been able to sort it out myself. Please forgive that some photos are not properly oriented and that the sequence is not in order. I am working with a new photo program. Thank you very much, SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, you have photographed Frangula alnus (glossy-buckthorn), a non-native species that can be very invasive. It is quite prevalent in many locations within the state of MA. Best wishes.
