| Please help me identify this shrub/tree... Its evergreen, it has orange and yellow berries that grow along the stem. in the late summer and fall it gets tiny bell shaped cream flowers that have brown spots. The flowers have a strong jasmine like scent. We have four of them growing in our wild areas. Ive searched all over and cant find any answers. I would very much appreciate your thoughts on what this may be. Thank you |

| Elaeagnus. It may be E. pungens. Can be invasive in many areas including where I live. |

| Yep. Elaeagnus pungens. Used alot over here for coastal planting. |

| We have four of them growing in our wild areas. That would seem to indicate that the birds dropped those seeds. It is invasive in the southeastern US. You should consider removing those just as you would remove other invasives like Chinese privet and English ivy. |

| Thank you both so much! Ive been trying to figure it out for two years now... I think they look great in our natural areas. The scent floats all the way to our porch, which I love. |

| You think that non-native invasive plants look great in your natural areas? |

| Considering what we would be looking at if we removed them... Id rather have them. Atleast for now. I wouldn't want to remove them untill I could replace them with something else. Our yard is fairly large and we basically had to start from scratch. Eventually all the natural areas will be cleared(except the trees) and replanted but it will take lots of time and money. Im focused on other areas right now. |
