Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderful goumi which produces fruit that is larger than the average! This is a tough 6-8' shrub with attractive silver-green foliage and tiny, delightfully fragrant, creamy-white spring blossoms. The red berries are speckled with tiny silver dots and are wonderful for fresh eating or jams. Goumi bushes are wonderful for tough spots as they fix their own nitrogen; perfect for ornamental, edible, Mediterranean or pollinator gardens. Goumi are self-fertile, but produce more with a partner, these shrubs begin fruiting at 2-3 years. S/M-D
