Autumn Olive: Friend or Foe?
Autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is a beneficial but controversial species. In the video, Michael Dolan explains why we grow it, how we use the fruit, and whether he thinks the benefits outweigh its invasive potential.
Like other nitrogen fixing shrubs, autumn olive has great potential for use in permaculture and agroforestry systems, and as a companion plant for nut orchards. In addition, the fruit is a superfood, high in cancer-fighting antioxidants. The plant can be used for silvopasture and grazing livestock, as well as for generating biomass and restoring damaged and degraded landscapes. However, in some areas it has the potential to naturalize, leading to bans and prohibitions in numerous states. Michael recommends two books to help us reconsider invasion biology and consider these plants from a more holistic perspective.
