Field Notes
I am surprised we found something that smell a lot like carrot which made me HAPPY,
Supporting Evidence
the berries are the seasonal change of the common buckthorn (which is a characteristic of the common buckthorn).
The bark pattern of this picture matches the bark pattern of common buckthorn. Also, the color of the bark is brownish.
On the end of each branch of the Common Buckthorn there is a "spike" which is a characteristic of Common Buckthorn, NOT a characteristic of the invasive species Glossy Buckthorn.
