    I was able to propogate this wierd little tree (maybe a shrub?) from my back yard. It has little black drupe fruits, and glossy opposite leaves. Any ideas?

    Family Rhamnaceae (buckthorns) perhaps?

    Perhaps Ligustrum texanum (Wax leafed Privet)

    "Ligustrum texanum" = L. japonicum 'Texanum'.
