The "berries" in that clump are dark and sort of dried looking, and shriveled. When they drop on the ground, they remain the same color but get even more shriveled.
What is it?
Thanks

You do not say what part of the country you are in...but the Russian olive is fairly widespread in the USA. I concur with the answers giving Russian Olive as the plant. I include a link that you may compare the leaves...very similar, willow looking...

May I also add that you should contact your local cooperative extension office and ask to speak to a master Gardener, local advice for local problems...and its free. :-)

Certainly not mulberries, can tell by the leaves. No Way! Actually does look more like a russian olive, or maybe some other close relative--based on the foliage, not the fruit, never saw one with fruit. .

some pounds of ice cream salt is amazingly effective, esp. opened up until now or for the period of a rain. What approximately spraying the branches on your area of the backyard w/ around-Up? around-Up kills the basis by way of working in the process the leaves. and consistent with hazard if it did no longer kill the completed tree, it would kill the protion that hangs over.

I'd say Russian olive. Why not access info on this plant doing a web search; if the picture you get matches, then you can be fairly certain that it has been properly identified. Good luck.

It's definitely an olive of some kind, by the shape of the fruits and leaves.
I think the way that your fruits are clustered, and the relative length of the leaves show that it is of a different habit than the russian olive.

This is an olive tree.
It is NOT a mulbery like someone said, mulberry leaves are large and palmately veined with serrated edges.

I think I've seen that tree before.. It looks like a Russan Olive tree... Those trees can grow almost in all types of soils..

hmmm, are the berries lobed like a blackberry, or round like a grape? I can't tell well from the pic. If they are lobed looking like a black or raspberry,and they start out red and then turn black/dark purple, maybe they are mulberries?

Yeah, it looks like some kind of olive... is the underside of the leave kinda white/pale green? it seems to me is something related to olives.
