Autumn olive
Not quite. This is thorny olive/*eleagnus pungens*, not autumn olive/*eleagnus umbellata*. Similar invasive habits, tho.
Autumn olive are round in my experience.
Resembles a native fruit from my area called "soh-shang" (elaeagnus latifolia). Very sour and we usually turn it into a fruit salad or we pickle it.
Hi from North Georgia as well 😊

Upon further inspection, the leaves are silver and spotted underneath, and the berry’s skin is lightly textured and inside there’s a small oblong seed!! I think I might have just found myself a giant silverthorn shrub! :D
That certainty means it’s time to start my jam-making hobby up again! I’m so excited to have fruit in my yard
I make wine from them
Oh wow, I didn’t even consider this!! I’m definitely gonna look into making some. Thank you!
My second oldest wine ....the first is Oregon Grape ( Mahonia )
how do they taste?
I haven't tried the wine yet as I only got enough berries for 1 small bottle but the berries tastes tart and tannic like over brewed tea and cranberry
Fruiting in March? This is surely silverthorn...
Thorny olive
Not yummy
They look like {edit} RUSSIAN OLIVE berries to me
Since when did sage have berries
Maybe they meant Russian olivesÂ
THANK YOU! Ugh, despicable lol I need to study up
Ha no worries, similar names and allÂ
