| Doris, That's a common mistake around here. People say I live in a banana belt. Wrong, our Island is in a rain shadow. Not any wormer then Seattle, just dryer. Back to the plant: It's a small fruit,reddish,size of a table grape. The plant is a nitrogen fixer Eric |

| Elaeagnus multiflora "Cherry Silverberry." Kt |
|
- Posted by luvtosharedivs (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 07 at 21:59
| Something in my gut told me "Mr. Horticulture" (Kt) would guess correctly. You're GOOD, Kt! So the Neil Diamond song is "Cherry Cherry"? Julie |
|
- Posted by eric_wa (ejellison@rockisland.com) on Fri, May 4, 07 at 22:04
| Winner!!! Kt, I was wondering when you were going to chime in. The Elaeagnus multiflora I have is called Sweet Goumi. It has more and better tasting fruit. Julie, your Autumn olive is a Elaeagnus umbellata. |
|
- Posted by kentuck_8b (My Page) on Fri, May 4, 07 at 22:09
| Yes, other common names are "Gumi" and "Cherry Elaeagnus." I want one. It should grow for me down here. Kt |

| Eric, Now that song I don't remember, at least not from the words. Maybe if I heard the melody I'd recognize it. My Autumn Olive came with the property we bought. I didn't know what it was for a few years. Just happened to find it browsing the internet. The flowers are incredibly sweet scented. I understand the plant can be invasive in our area, but I'm not worried because there is only one in a large meadow that we keep mowed. That was fun, even though I didn't win. Julie |
