Hey, everybody, My grandmother planted this tree in her backyard about 20 years ago. She said it was a Russian olive, but that is not the case. Now my family lives on that farm and the tree has spread the love...ie there are the same trees ALL OVER the 60 acre farm. I have looked at several different tree ID books and websites to no avail. So, I am turning to the tree people of the world for help in identifying the scraggley-beautiful tree. Age: 20 years Height: 12 feet Flowers: very small,white in the spring Fruit: small red berries in late summer/early fall Bark: rough, even when young When the trees do start coming up, there are several shoots that eventually grow together. Here are some pictures. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for your help, T |

I'll take a stab at it anyway. Sounds similar to Autumn olive (Eleagnus umbellata). The leaves of this shrub and berries for that matter have almost a silver mottling on them. All the one's I've seen don't really resemble trees, definitely more of a large shrub. They can get big though.
