Grow your own delicious and nutritious Goumi Berry shrubs from seed. Goumi Berry (Elaeagnus multiflora) is a hardy, fast-growing fruiting shrub prized for its sweet-tart red berries, fragrant spring flowers, and ability to thrive in a wide range of growing conditions. Native to Asia, Goumi is an excellent choice for edible landscapes, food forests, wildlife gardens, and backyard orchards.
In spring, the plant produces small, creamy-white flowers with a pleasant fragrance that attract pollinators. By early summer, branches become covered with bright red berries rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and lycopene. The fruit can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in jams, jellies, pies, sauces, and preserves.
Goumi Berry shrubs are known for their nitrogen-fixing abilities, helping improve soil quality while supporting nearby plants. They are highly adaptable, drought-tolerant once established, and resistant to many common pests and diseases. Mature plants typically reach 6 to 10 feet tall and wide, making them an attractive and productive addition to almost any landscape.
