Common Buckthorn
(Rhamnus cathartica)
The Common Btckthorn is a small to medium sized tree that was originally brought to the United States from Europe and Asia. People used it for ornimental purposes and it's considered an invasive species. It will grow anywhere's in the upper section of North America. It really doesn't have any uses because of the chemicals that it produces and other than birds, nothing will eat the berries.
Here's a good look at the leaves and blooms. The leaves have a serrated edge. The blooms will turn into berries and when they are totally ripe they turn almost black when the seed inside is fully formed.
This is what the bark of the Common Buckthorn. It does look like a cherry tree bark when it is young.
