Ligustrum Lucidum

Help me identify this plant

I thought it maybe common elderberry. It has smooth and not opposite leaves (what’s that called?). Small white fluffy flowers. Then pink to red to black berries.

possibly wild black cherry or choke cherry? tree?

I tend to agree with Terry. @moore.794 but with you being in Oz, I wonder? 🤔

Looks like common privet. Elderberry fruit grows in round bunches, like paper wasp nests. @lesliecole49 @amoore - not familiar with choke cherry?

alternate leaves. need pics of flowers and bark. if privit not edible. if cherry berry edible not seeds have cyanide

@moore.794 hi Terry. I finally figured it out yesterday after a lot of research. It’s a broad leaf privet which is noxious to SE Qld. 😤 all the water I’ve wasted on it over the years. It’s getting chopped and poison ☠️. @Annettenoosa @lesliecole49

glad you figured it out and all those berries won't reseed. @Sussanah

If you've had it for years, why get rid of it now? One man's weed is another man's flower! I always considered joe pye and goldenrod as weeds (albeit pretty ones) but people actually plant them in their gardens

@lesliecole49 I’m not allowed. There are even strict conditions for disposal. I was planning on selling them but I would get a huge fine. My dogs eat the berries and not been sick. It’s never been a display piece. So ok it can go. But it’s 4m tall

4m!? Holy tall plants!
