We have encouraged Autumn olives on our farm,  and I have long rows of them 
on the edge of my biggest field.  Walking by them when they are in bloom is 
an 
incredible experience,  the fragrance is almost palpable.  Song birds and 
deer 
both love the fruit.  They are hardy and very easy to prune into hedges or as 
one writer suggests, into a forest.  I did not know they were allelopathic, 
still, they are worth having.
