Small-leaved Privet

Originating from China, this relative of Large-leaved
Privet grows as a shrub or small tree. The leaves, up to
5 cm by 2 cm, are much smaller than the large-leaved
species. The leaves are opposite and the margins are
not toothed. Masses of small white flowers appear
from spring to summer, followed by black fruit about
5 mm long.
