| Hi, This one might be trickier than the previous two because it doesn't seem very distinctive. It is growing out from under the neighbour's drive, next to the fence. Will post a close up after this one... Cheers |

| Closer shot. Not too many distinctive features to my ignorant eyes but I'm sure someone will know better... |

| Likely to be Ligustrum lucidum. Ted |

| It looks like Ligustrum lucidum, tree privet. It is a non-native invasive plant in New Zealand. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ligustrum lucidum, tree privet

| Thanks Ted. From the descriptions etc online that could well be it though I'm struggling to find a picture online that looks all that similar. |

| The link Susan provided above contains a lot of pics -- one should closely match your photo -- or try the link below directly to a specific pic: http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/imgs/512x768/0000_0000/1211/1717.jpeg Ted |

| Hi Ted & Susan, Not sure there is a clear match on the photos, a lot of them are focusing on flowers etc. The leaf shapes look similar (as it does in that picture you link to) but to my eyes they aren't all that distinctive anyway. However, don't worry, I'm convinced ;-) This is too easy for you guys I'll have to head down the back lawn and try to find something more challenging! Cheers |
