Sweet Scarlet Goumi Berry

Eleagnus Multiflora 'Sweet Scarlet'

Planted spring 2011
Afternoon sun
Daily drip irrigation.

This shrub is extremely vigorous.  When planted it was a two foot tall twig.  The berries are tasty when fully ripe, a bit on the small side with a large seed.  It would be much larger without the several summer prunings it got.  If you want an edible deciduous shrub that grows much quicker and larger than a blueberry, it's a good choice.
