The Chinese privet (Ligustrum lucidum) is native to China, came to Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912), and can now be found across the country. It produces flowers from June to July in Japan and fruits (scroll down) in October, which are green at first and turn purplish black toward winter. The tree's Japanese name is "
tou nezumi mochi," which translates into "Chinese mouse mochi," after the fruits looking like mouse droppings and the leaves resembling those of the mochi tree or the
elegance female holly (Ilex integra). The fruits of Chinese privet are used in herbal medicine despite their mouse dropping like appearances.
The Chinese privet is widely planted in urban areas (e.g., Tokyo) because it's highly tolerant against air pollution, heavy urban smog, and poor soil conditions.

トウネズミモチ（唐鼠糯）です。中国原産。明治時代に日本に来ました。6月から7月に花を付け、10月から12月に実を付けます。果実は最初は緑でその後紫黒色に変わるのですが、その紫黒色の実がネズミの糞に、葉がモチノキに似ているためこの名が付きました。ネズミの糞に似た実は漢方薬として使われるそうです。
大気汚染公害に強いので、都市部で広く街路樹として植えられています。
