Speedy says... Hey ringelstrumpf, Ask Bill at Hartley vale nursery. I picked one up there back in October. Also got a Elaeagnus macrophylla too. both were in flower at the time and both have fruited...still some on the E.multiflora. They're a bit astringent unless really ripe, but then they're nice to eat. I think the E.macrophylla was just a bit better of the two. also got one that was labelled E.pungens var maculata or something like that. he said he couldn't guarentee thats what it was, and I actually tend to think it's a plain green leafed form of E. ebbingii (E.pungens x E.macrophylla) I just dropped in on the way to Blackheath and asked specifically for 'any Elaeagnus spp.' amongst other things and he just happened to have a few out the back of the nursery. 200mm pots, plants 800-1000mm high , under $20 each. he also has an impressive range on pomegranate cultivars. ...I have a list of them somewhere | About the Author Speedy Nthn Vic. 16th November 2011 10:20pm #UserID: 2305 Posts: 250 View All Speedy's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Hi Bangkok.....hello, how you going? Yes the fruit is Goumi berry, don't think you have got that over there. As mentioned both of my trees flowered profusely in Spring as you can see in these pictures. I should also mention that one of the trees is in the ground and the other is in a big pot. Only the one in the ground has set fruit so maybe the other one doesn't like being in a pot. Do you think that could be the reason?

Linton says... Should I net this tree? The Goumi trees are loaded with berries now that dangle like pink, orange and red baubles. I have been picking them every day as they ripen and find that they have a superb flavour. These Goumi berries taste as good as any fruit you could buy in a shop so I can't help wonder why they are not grown commercially. So far the birds haven't noticed them so I would like to know if it's necessary to net the trees. Please let me know if you are also growing goumis, whether you net your trees or not. In the mean time I will just keep picking and eating the delicious berries as fast as I can. Cheers!

Linton says... Dear James, I decided to write back to you post haste to let you know the bad news that it is unlikely that I will have more of this plant any time soon. In spite of it flowering and fruiting profusely every year, the Goumi Berry plant, Elaeagnus multiflora, is the most stubborn plant to propagate that I have ever encountered. Since the last 2 years I have been sowing the seeds from the fruit but not a single one has ever germinated in all this time. Have also tried to grow it from cuttings as well as by marcotting and layering methods but again with no success, absolutely zero. So, as much as I would like to send you a plant, it seems like I'm out of options unless someone can shed some light as to how it can be successfully propagated. Sorry for no better news and have a nice day! | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 7th February 2022 9:39am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
