Hi,
Can someone please help me identify what this shrub is. I think it is very common but I have no idea what it is. Thank you

I didn't respond, because I wasn't sure, but since no one else did, I will give you my guess.
Did it have little white flowers on it in the spring? It has the dried remains of berries on it now. Were those red berries? If the answers to those are yes, it would confirm my guess.
I'm thinking it is not actually a shrub, but a rampantly growing Japanese honeysuckle vine, Lonicera japonica:

If so it is indeed very common, aggressively invasive exotic WEED.

I'm not wedded to my guess, I could be wrong. But I really don't think viburnum. Viburnum leaves are usually quite distinctive, heavily veined:

I don't know if jhamon is still around, never responded, but if so jhamon have you seen your shrub flower or put on any berries? Descriptions of those would be very identifying.

I could be wrong, but I have something very similar in my garden. Mine is a Vibrum and spring here was very hot, now we get storms every day and it grew elongated ends just like the one in OP.rainbowgardener wrote:I'm not wedded to my guess, I could be wrong.
