Autumn Olive is not a true olive but resembles one in growth and leave shape. It is a very hardy and easy to grow bush that also fixes nitrogen in the ground. Covered in thousands of fragrant cream-coloured flowers in the spring that are a favourite with bees and other pollinators. It's red berries are sweet-tart and good for fresh eating or many different preserves. Also used as a windbreak in hedgerows. Produces best with another pollinator close by.
