This sounds maybe like a ligustrom (spelling)?

Please help me identify this common triangle shrub. I believe this plant
most often takes the form of a dense, six foot high or so shrub, but it
can also grow to tree height. I've only seen it as a multiple,
twisted-trunked plant, but it may take other forms as well. Its leaves
don't fall off during winter, and are about three inches long, smooth
edged and sharp tipped, and dark glossy green on top and dull light green
beneath. They are folded slightly upward along their central spines and
grow from their stems in pairs from a single node. This plant gives small
purple berries that grow in clusters at the ends of the stems. The birds
eat them. The bark is freckled with small bumps, but otherwise smooth.
It grows along with mulberry trees and pecan trees. I especially like
this tree becasue it's pretty, stays green all year, and seems to thrive
in my yard. I hope to plant some more of them. Any ideas of what it is?
Can I propigate it from its berries?
