Goumi, Elaeagnus multiflora, Cultivar Trialing

That’s interesting, according to this article the Shikotan variety seems to be truly superior in terms of taste, have you ever tried it?

I’m also thinking of grafting onto Elaeagnus umbellata, which are quite easy to propagate from cuttings and grow quickly in my garden.

I have it growing. Still a small plant. Not impressed so far. Fruit size was not impressive either.

They are valuable to older men. The fruit contains 17 times more lycopene than tomatoes per ounce. Lycopene protects against prostate problems. Berries are also generally considered the most nutritious fruit, as the percentage of peel is larger.
