Goumi, Elaeagnus multiflora, Cultivar Trialing

That’s a great point—thanks for bringing it up! So far, I’ve been using Daiougoumi as an isolated mother plant. This cultivar is not self-fertile.

In my collection, the cultivars I can confidently confirm as self-fertile are Sweet Scarlet, Gutsulska, and Cheriffic. We can definitely build a more complete list—please feel free to add any cultivars you know for certain are self-fertile.

I got an email reply from Sylvatica Forest Farm regarding their Select Goumi scion wood.

“I did follow up on this but it lead to a dead end! All I know is they are super heavy producers of light red, jello/rhubarb textured berries about large olive sized. If you want, I can send you photos when they fruit in a month of so!”

on a side note, bumblebees will open up the closed flowers. One was enjoying itself on my Raintree select goumi.

They were also going crazy with my gooseberries
