I have 3 plants of different varieties in Abilene Texas and they are growing great. I am in zone 8. Have you had any success in taking cuttings? I have had 2 out of 10 survive and would like to know if you have any ideas on getting them to take root. Thanks for any info. I love the sweet tartness of the goumi and would like to plant all over our 1 and a half acres.
@@ThePreparedHomestead I’m not sure yet. I’m just starting my permaculture based farm. I’d probably be interested in quite a few cuttings of different varieties.
This is very similar to the invasive Elaeagnus umbellata, the Autumn Olive species (noxious bush with late August berries) that grows all over the eastern U.S. You can still eat the berries though and they are very similar and high in lycopene. The species you speak of Elaeagnus multiflora (goumi) could likely be grafted onto the invasive species for more productive delicious varieties for this bush.
I love the haliganus family 😂 just teasing, great video
I would love to see a video about goumi propagation. Any tips? Also, which varieties do you like best? Thanks and all the best.

I layered last year but haven’t checked on that. I also plan on trying some softwood cuttings this summer.
are you guys selling cuttings? I am near spokane
Hi Matt, no we haven’t done that up to their point but are definitely planning on propagating this year. How many are you looking for?

Two plants definitely worth incorporating

Yes, very well could be the case.
