The highly aromatic flowers are produced in clusters of 1-3 together, 1 cm long with a four-lobed creamy yellow corolla; they appear in early summer and are later replaced by clusters of fruit, a small cherry-like drupe 1-1.5 cm long, orange-brown covered in silvery scales. The fruit is edible and sweet, though with a dryish mealy texture. For other uses, see Flower (disambiguation). ...

Like all Elaeagnus species, it can fix nitrogen in its roots, enabling it to grow on bare, mineral substrates. Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen is taken from its relatively inert molecular form (N2) in the atmosphere and converted into nitrogen compounds (such as, notably, ammonia, nitrate and nitrogen dioxide)[1] useful for other chemical processes. ...
Cultivation First cultivated in Germany in 1736, it is now widely grown across southern and central Europe, both as an ornamental plant and for its scented flowers and edible fruit. It was introduced into North America in the late 1800s, and subsequently naturalized into the wild. Some people consider Russian olive to be an invasive species. It often grows in riparian vegetation where overstory cottonwoods have died. It provides a plentiful source of edible fruit for birds (and is marketed in many areas as a wildlife attracting plant).
