Goumi tree and fruit ( Elaeagnus multiflora)
Been wondering what goumi fruit looks like? These are goumi/gumi seeds and fruit
Elaeagnus is a large dense evergreen shrub. The top of the leaves are shiny green with the underneath side being silver with gold flecks. These shrubs bloom in the fall with tiny inconspicuous flowers that smell like cinnamon, but you can smell the tree 30 feet away. In the spring the tree has bright red, gold flaked, fruit about the size of jelly beans. Roots easily. Made some jam from the fruit. Gave it away as it was too astringent IMHO. Tasted like chalk.
