| Chinese privet. Invasive, not native, get rid of it. |

| In this area, bboy, we just have chinese and the waxleaf. And the chinese is everywhere. The OP is not far from me. Believe me, that's what it is. |

| From many miles away, its a privet and regardless of the specific epithet, any woody that close to the house needs to go, and obviously a bird dropped it, so let it go. Dan |

| I once had a professor that said it was his mission in life to eradicate this earth of Chinese Privet...guess he didn't succeed. To bad though, I hate that plant. |
