Shrub identification - Privet #869569

Asked May 22, 2024, 7:38 AM EDT

I think this is a privet, but wondering if it’s native. It recently started flowering, so hopefully it’s easier to identify. Thanks!

Unfortunately, that is Privet. There are no Privet native to Maryland. They are all problematic invasive plants.
