Notes:
I’m trying to identify this shrub growing wild in my backyard. I think it may be a hawthorn of some kind because it has sharp thorns on the limbs( as you can see in photo). It has glossy leaves, is evergreen, and the underside of the leaves is white/silver. It’s growing under tall trees and gets quite leggy.

Maybe a type of silverberry (Elaeagnus)? Possible the thorny olive aka silver thorn (E. pungens)? Check out the included link below and see if you have a match. Click on images to enlarge. Best wishes!
