    Tina, sorry I don't have a clue. But I'm sure Eileen, Droopy,Toni or some of the others will be along in a bit and let you know what plant you have. It sure is green and shiny! ;)

    It certainly is a lovely bush! Could it be some kind of common laurel?

    I agree with Droopy...those pointy, (oblanceolate or cuneate), shiney leaves sure look ´Laurel´ to me...as well as how and where the berries have formed.

    It certainly looks like Laurel berries you have there Tina. I think it's probably Bay laurel, Laurus Nobilis. :stew2:
