Elaeagnus - silverberry shohin

[JudyB]

Everything is first rate here. Tree, pot and stand! Bravo!!

Haha, I caught a bunch of flak for the jita and how it was distracting in the shohin group where I posted this (FB) and realize I never put a pic of it how I actually showed the tree. I just thought it made a nice arty shot. Whatevs.... But posting this for the record in this thread.

So cool the small odd colored leaves coming on on this tree every year. So much nicer with fruit! Lots more ramification than the early shots, always fun to see the changes.

You have some amazing talent. You have never shown a tree that I don't love. I thought the blue pot was nice enough but this plant pot pairing is over the top. WOW!

Thank you very much for your thoughts! I do have a few dogs in the greenhouse, I just don't show them off...lol, I like to get a piece of crap stock if I don't know the species first, I have a totally ugly gardenia right now...

So here she is in her fresh spring coat, I've never seen it be this particular shade of green/silver. I so love the delicate freckles the leaves show, and against this special color, I couldn't resist sharing the photos.

Almost fall and blooming well this year, I so love the subtle scent of these.

Awesome! I just noticed the other day that mine is starting to produce buds.

Such a nice tree and pot combo. When the Elaeagnus bloom around here, it’s about the best thing in fall besides college football.

I can't even imagine them in the landscape it must be a wonder.

They’re shrubs that throw crazy long runners around this time of year. The flowers are so inconspicuous, but so fragrant, that when you’re riding or walking by, your nose catches them far more than your eyes. I’ll try to take some photos. A neighbor around the corner has a dozen that he keeps pruned down to 3’ “meatballs” that all have 5-6” trunks, and I’d love to get a few of those out of his way!

Nothing can't be deal with good beer and BBQ.

So maybe the best thing this fall?

Mine are still just leaves with no sign of flower at all

they are easy trees, one of the most trouble free of my herd.
