Two people have replied to my Goumi e-mail saying Sweet Scarlet bears fruit in the spring. My mystery plant bears fruit in the fall. I just googled "autumn olive" and found pictures of the same fruit I have. Mystery solved. I have autumn olive, Elaeagnus umbellata.
So I still want to grow Goumi, Eleagnus multiflora. I would be interested to hear from anyone that has spring-bearing Goumi and could either send me a start or some fresh seeds. Contact me off-list to arrange this.
