Just take a look at this thread and comment there if you want. Thanks. Not very magnificent

Maybe i have it tho i have been staring at plants with orange berries on google for awhile so my eyes might be crossed but could it be two leaf nightshade? Anybody familar with that plant to confirm that?

"But no one has told me what the difference is between Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus caroliniana. No such clarification was posted. My original question was about identification of a tree. Is there some reason to believe that I have one, rather than the other? " It was properly identified by botanical name by Embothrium. Prior to that, just one of many common names was used for ID however that common name is often applied to both species. Prunus caroliniana is a native species that includes Texas as part of its natural range. It would be very unusual for Prunus laurocerasus to pop up spontaneously in your area but entirely natural for P. caroliniana to do so. It is also more tree-like in habit than Prunus laurocerasus, which is most often grown as a large shrub with no discernible trunk and the leaves present somewhat differently (smooth margins for one and slight serration for the other). As to the negative attributes you list, other than the propensity for P. laurocerasus being invasive in specific areas, they are just not serious enough to worry about.

Well, there must be hundreds of evergreen tree species that can grow in Japan. Are the undersides of the leaves a grayish color? Can you get a good pic of the undersides? Also, need a closeup of a twig to see bud arragement and general twig size. Are there any acorns, or fruit or spent flower stalks? That's what you'd probably need to ID it. I would say it does not look like most of the evergreen oaks in the Cyclobalanopsis section I'm familar with, such as Q. myrsinfolia, acuta, glauca, phillyreoides, or salicina. Quercus typically have a cluster of dormant buds on the twig tip. The prominant veins remind me of a Beech (Fagus). But are there evergreen Beeches in Japan? Could possibly be in the Lithocarpus, Nothofagus or Castenopsis genera. I am growing C. cuspidata but mine has a metallic sheen to the leaf undersides and does not have prominant veins.
