Autumn Olive : GARNET         30-60cm (1-2') plant

A large fruited, sweet tasting selection of Autumn Olive. Garnet is quite similar to Ruby except that both the reddish-bronze berries and the foliage are somewhat darker in colour.

SEMI-FERTILE* | ZONE 3 | HARVEST: LATE SEPT.

Autumn olive bushes are somewhat related to Goumi bushes and boast the same nitrogen fixing abilities. They are hardy and vigorous and will thrive almost anywhere. In fact, they may be best suited to less fertile sites as they tend to prosper with such exuberance that they can crowd out less vigorous plants.
PLEASE NOTE : Although Autumn Olive has many benefits, it is designated as an invasive exotic species in some areas.
