Elaeagnus multiflora Seeds - Fruit Plant

Elaeagnus multiflora seeds produce deciduous fruiting shrubs commonly known as Goumi berry plants. These shrubs are valued for their silvery green foliage, fragrant spring flowers, and small red berries that develop during the growing season. The plants are adaptable to a range of soil conditions and are commonly grown in edible landscapes, hedgerows, and mixed garden plantings. They tolerate varying weather conditions and can grow in poor soils once established. Goumi berry shrubs perform best in full sun to partial shade with well drained soil.
