What is Elaeagnus angustifolia

Elaeagnus angustifolia, commonly called Russian olive,(scientific name: Elaeagnus angustifolia) is native to Central Asia and East Asia, and is a deciduous small tree and fruit tree of the family Elaeagnaceae. It grows to a height of 1.5 to 7 m. In Central Asia, it grows in deserts and is tolerant of drought and cold. The branches have thorns. The leaves are lanceolate, 5-10 cm long, 1 cm wide, and have a flat margin with alternate leaflets. The leaves are green with silvery-white scales, giving them a silvery appearance. 1 to 3 flowers bloom in April from the leaf axils at the bottom of the previous year's branches. The inside of the petals is yellow and the outside is white, and the flowers are fragrant. The long oval fruits ripen to red in the fall. It is called the Russian olive because its leaves resemble those of the olive (Olea europaea).
