Buckthorn by Spybush Lane Rhamnus catharticus is a bush I have seldom encountered, but accounts say it is not particularly uncommon. The curving veins of the leaves and general shape are shared with Dogwood, if in doubt pull a leaf apart lengthwise - Buckthorn breaks cleanly, with Dogwood the veins part with an elastic string between the ends. Here the berries are unripe, they later turn black.
