    I came across this bush on a trip to the Algarve in Portugal but cannot identify it, it was late June when the photo was taken. Its berries look very similar to Olives, but i am no horticultural expert. Can anyone help please.

    Thanks

    Do you have a photo of the foliage by chance?

    Those look like palm seeds.

    Probably a date palm - ?Phoenix dactylifera - with immature fruits.
