Here in southern Wisconsin, Autumn Olive is one of those imported shrub species which is helping to turn our few native prairie remnants into solid stands of shrubs. Along with the Tatarican Honeysuckle (Lonicera t.) & 2 imported species of Buckthorn (Rhamnus).
Is there a species of Eleagnus native to s. WI which we can try, which also might have a few selections with decent fruit, but would be a better ecological match for native plant communities ?

Rob, They do get sweeter as Jackie says, but there are some clones that
ripen a lot earlier than others. I have a few red already, but most are
still very green and don't turn until Sept/Oct. The astringency dimishes
with ripeness and is gone in freezing or jam making. Hector black zone 6
