some seeds for you.

There is a chapter on this fruit in Fruitipedia at the following link:

Thanks for the generous offer Chiranjit. The specimen shown in the Fruitipedia looks exactly like the plant I have on my property.
I was wonder if the one in this picture:

is a regional variation or a different variety of eleagnus.
I have never seen that one in my area.

Thanks again.

Lawrence
