- 4-5 feet tall
- Long leaves w/
smoothlots 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.
