Subject: [permaculture] nitrogen fixing trees/shrubs that feed livestock

A friend told me yesterday about a shrub called "goumi". The fruit looks a
little like a
cherry and "tastes like PEZ". He says the bush is nitorgen fixing!!
True? Anybody familiar with this shrub?
I just ordered a bunch of siberian pea shrubs, honey locust trees and russian
olive
trees, all because they are nitrogen fixing and provide food for
chickens/pigs/cattle/etc.
Are there any other trees or bushes for zone 4/5 that I might be overlooking?
