Elaeagnus angustifolia, commonly known as the Russian olive or silverberry tree, is a deciduous tree native to Eurasia that has been widely introduced to other parts of the world as an ornamental plant and for erosion control.

The tree can reach up to 30 feet (9 meters) in height and has a rounded, spreading canopy with silvery-gray branches and leaves that are dark green above and silvery-gray beneath. The leaves are lance-shaped and have a wavy margin, growing up to 4 inches (10 cm) long.

The tree produces fragrant, small, yellow flowers in the spring, which are followed by small, oval-shaped fruits that mature in the fall. The fruit is edible and has a sweet and tart flavor, often used for making jellies or jams.

Elaeagnus angustifolia is a hardy and adaptable tree that can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, including drought, salt spray, and poor soil. It is often used for windbreaks, erosion control, and as an ornamental tree in parks and gardens. However, it can also be considered invasive in some regions, particularly in North America, where it has escaped cultivation and can outcompete native plants.
