What's this shrub w/ long, pointy leaves and red fruit? [SOLVED - also aucuba japonica]
Central VA, working on identifying plants in my neighborhood.
4-5 feet tall
Long leaves w/ smooth lots of tiny points along the edges
Red, slightly elongated fruit
EDIT: Originally, I thought the leaves were smooth around the edges, but upon closer inspection, there are tiny little points along the edges.
EDIT 2: Based on the bot's suggestion and this photo on plantnet.org, it looks like this one is also aucuba japonica (Wikipedia). The difference in coloring of the leaves threw me off.
