Name That Plant!

Shrub with red fruit

14 years ago

I photographed this plant around the end of July in central NY. Initially thought it was Autumn Olive and suspect it is in the same family. I have one possibility in mind but don't want to influence opinions as it is a native species not known in this area.

This is Daphne, Thymelaeaceae family. Perhaps Daphne mezereum.

I believe you are correct. Daphne mezereum is naturalized in my area and looks just like it.
