Hey Folks,

Found this on our property.  It's the only one found and curious as to what it is.  Thanks in advance.

I'm not very confident, but it looks like autumn olive perhaps?

Much appreciated 👏

We have lots of silverberry on our property, and they have very silvery leaf undersides.  (and speckled fruit in season)  Does your plant have this?  It could so easily be something else, especially if it is one of a kind.

I know on our new farm, we found lots and lots of wild honeysuckle bushes, amidst a few unfamiliar treasures that popped up in the ID app.  So I was noticing how similar some of the unfamilar things found there looked to other things.    Wouldn't want to get rid of something desirable!  Unless I'm just going to replace it anyway...
