Not boxthorn. No one has been able to ID this yet. Michael have you seen this before?

Mmmmmm, my gut still says this is in Lycium. What do you think of Lycium barbarum @HarleyB

My first thought was Lonicera fragmentissima, but the leaves don't seem right for this - Lycium barbarum seems a pretty good fit

Thanks for the input. I think you are probably correct. Th lack of thorns was a bit of a red herring. I was thinking ferocisimum but knew it couldn't be.
