    You'd do better to plant cuttings .

    The leaves look like Euonymus, or at a push, Escallonia, but the berries don't look right for either. The berries look more like Sarcococca, so rather unhelpfully, I have to say, no idea!

    Leaves look like Laurel to me. Is there a Laurel with black berries?

    Can't help with replanting them, though, as an experiment, no harm in trying!

    Berries started out hard green, turned red, then to the way they are now soft purple!

    Laurel can have black berries (poisonous) but I am not familiar with that particular variety - the leaves look small.

    Looks like a Laurel to me too. Just take cuttings.

    I think it's a laurel. I have one outside, the birds are feasting on those berries ATM. Get some rooting powder and take a few cuttings. I don't think you'll have much luck planting berries.
