This is a cultivar of #autumnolive called #brilliantrose. Some autumn olives are invasive, however they're also #nitrogen-fixing and can improve soil fertility over time 12 Mar 2023 #eleagnus #edible #cutting #fruitwoodnursery

#autumn-olive brilliant rose #cutting seems to be starting a little leaf under the grafting tape. 4 Apr 2023 #growbabygrow #eleagnus #fromcutting #hope
How are you going to keep this one from taking over everything? They're so invasive!
@emch I'm planning to use this as a #nitrogen fixer to improve the soil. And this variety is supposed to have berries good for eating.
But yeah I'm going to have to keep an eye on it and prune it back so it doesn't get too out of control. @emch
Well the real issue is the birbs eating the fruits and pooping the seeds all over the state...short of wrapping the whole thing in a net I don't see how to keep them out... 😵💫
