#LigustrumJaponicum, known as #JapanesePrivet is a species of Ligustrum (privet) native to central and southern Japan.
The berries look good enough to eat, but I wouldn’t dare! Saying that, the fruits have been used in traditional medicinal practices and supplements in Korea and Japan.
I read with interest, that because of its extensive root system (grows prolifically when young), it can become evasive and grow and spread in numbers, competing with / eliminating other native shrubs and plants.
