Talking for 4 minutes and 34 seconds in front of an invasive plant you might want to grow

Autumn olive - yes or no for your #foodforest?

Today we look at the pros and cons of the invasive autumn olive shrub, AKA Eleagnus umbellata.

Though it is a nitrogen-fixer, repairs soil, and is known for its edible berries, the autumn olive has also invaded northern woodlands in the United States and displaced native species. Eat it if you have it!

Autumn Olives are by far my favorite fruit. Invasive or not be damned .They are delicious, amazingly good for you, and will heal the soil and will grow in places other things wont.

PLANT: "I am hardy, I grow fast in most soil conditions some even call me invasive." FLORIDA SUGAR SAND: "Hold my Beer!"

Love Autumn olive, very tasty, in southern Ontario they are kinda invasive but they really did a great job healing the degraded soil in our neighbourhood.

I just watched another youtuber say they would never grow these again. Thanks for another perspective!

I missed my turn the other day when i noticed a patch of autumn olive in a vacant lot that were so laden with berries the branches were more red than green. Need to go back there with a basket soon.

I am definitely interested in your anti-click bait titles 😂

[FebbieG]

I saw this video recommend on my feed, then it refreshed without me telling it to, so I had to go looking for it. I just couldn't resist that intriguing title.

Came for the title, stayed for the learnin'. These sound perfect for my food forest...especially since I planted *gasp* invasive mint and lemon balm already and am still very happy I did. 😂

Leaving a comment. Hitting the thumbs up.

Welcome to Michigan! Autumn Olive is a hot topic in local FB foraging groups. Some say to go scorched earth, while others say to harvest and enjoy. I'm somewhere in the middle.

Love the title, by the way! 😂

[jen.BarnesFamilyHomestead]

Welcome to Michigan! Yep, it's growing GREAT all over our Michigan yard 😂 They were here when we moved into the property and they'll be here long after I'm buried in sure. On a positive note...my goats LOVE to eat it

Your very good at your singular sense of humor

I just made 9 pints of Autumn Olive jelly last month, here on the Cumberland plateau in central Tennessee, where it is illegal to propagate or sell Autumn Olives.

Have a few in my yard. They were heavily shading my gardens. Try to cut & trim them, have tried to cut them down, but they grow back bigger & better! Ha! Had to move my gardens instead! (Because of you & folks like you, I have gardens! Thank you for all of us who never would have imagined growing things!❤)
