Plant: Silverberries or Elaeagnus....another under-appreciated fruit..........

Elaeagnus or silver berries or autumn olives...
Call whatever you like...don't miss the gold and silver specks on them..fruit gems?
Edible too!! Ripening this time of the year in opulent bunches...


The raw and ripe fruits...........

The reddish pulp below the rough skin........

The single pit......some say, the fat in the seeds are edible too...........

My mouth waters with the anticipation of sweet-sour taste......

The flowers...

I have published a paper on this plant and its permaculture potential...find the link..
