I purchased a Trebizond Date from One Green World years ago (maybe 6 or 7?) 
which might have been the same variety.  It lived two years for me before 
dying.  It was definitely and Elaeagnus of some kind.  Dont know if they are 
still growing them, but havent noticed it in their catalog recently.  They 
might be a source of seed or plants.

 I just posted a request for seeds on
 the permies forum - will see. The
 first Iranian online grocer I tried won't ship to Canada-
 will keep trying.
