Eleagnus multiflora ‘Red Gem’
This popular Siberian bush makes pea-sized red berries, with edible pits, that taste like pie cherries and ripen midsummer. The tasty berries are high in vitamins C, A and E, antioxidants, essential fatty acids and flavonoids. Goumi fixes nitrogen that it will share with neighbors, so it’s great as a hedgerow plant as well as in an area that will support its round, upright and rustic shape. Thousands of soft yellow, bell-shaped flowers in April are intensely fragrant and great bee forage, too!
Very versatile – will grow and fruit in sun or shade, but fruit production is better with more sun. Disease resistant, and no known pests bother this rugged bush. Fully self-fertile, but you’ll get more production with a different variety nearby as a pollinizer.
Hardy to USDA Zone: 4
Mature Height: 6′
Sun: Full Sun to Shade
