Elaeagnus commutata (American Silverberry)

A rounded, twiggy shrub with narrow, silvery-scurfy leaves on grayish-red stems that grows 1-12 feet tall. A rich, sweet smell is spicily scented little clusters of inconspicuous, cone-shaped blooms. The fruit is a white, dry, mealy berry. This suckering shrub may produce large patches with a diameter of several yards. Fast-growing, long-lived, and disease- and insect-resistant, as well as drought-resistant. Because of its thin root structure, it transplants well. A resilient plant that can be utilised as a windbreak in cold regions.
