I'm sure it's a common one here in the PNW. Thanks!

I have sampled the berries, then spit, since I don't know what it is. I had planned to post on the subject. Here's a picture.

My leaves are a little different, but the fruit looks the same.

Looks like glossy buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula)

That doesn't grow here. California buckthorn does according to Wikipedia. They say it's a good laxative.

Seems it's major use was for making quality gunpowder. Anyway, I plan on using it for making a hedgerow. At least it will provide some food for pollinators and birds.

From the photos, the leaf doesn't look like buckthorn to me. I'd say chokecherry. They're commonly confused. http://igrow.org/gardens/gardening/chokecherries-and-buckthorn-whats-the-difference/
