User's notes
small tree in area where all woody plants are exotic. possibly a deciduous fruit tree. many leaves towards the ends of stems had yellowed, odd at this time of year, did not otherwise appear to be diseased or unhealthy.

Further check 15 October flower buds had extended to resemble those of a privet. Several more specimens with a few metres, these were shrubby rather than tree form. Given that it is a woody weed found in the vicinity, suggest that it is Ligustrum lucidum
