Elizabeth,

Your fruits resemble a lot what we have in India as Eleagnus umbellata.  The 
foliage is also silvery. Please compare your fruits with ours which have 
been described in Fruitipedia at the link 
http://fruitipedia.com/ghain-elagnus%20umbellata.htm.

Could you send me a few more pictures especially of the plant and foliage.

How are these fruits to eat.

Regards,
