Central VA, working on identifying plants in my neighborhood.

  • 4-5 feet tall
  • Long leaves w/ smooth lots of tiny points along the edges
  • Red, slightly elongated fruit

EDIT: Originally, I thought the leaves were smooth around the edges, but upon closer inspection, there are tiny little points along the edges.

EDIT 2: Based on the bot’s suggestion and this photo on plantnet.org, it looks like this one is also aucuba japonica (Wikipedia). The difference in coloring of the leaves threw me off.
