I have two year old plants growing from seed in pots. They are vigorous growers once they get going. No fruit yet, I’m hopeing at the three year mark I will be seeing some flowers and fruit.
I'm down near the Mexico border near the ocean and mine is 8 feet tall and never has problems throughout the year.

(that's likely a hybrid with Goumi of some sort) I brought a few years back? I'm curious how it's doing if so. Here in the bay area it fruits heavily even in 2/3 shade and the fruits are much better than Goumi, sort of the size of a large grape and with minimal astringency.
Barath , Were you propagating that one from seed for DVC or did I maybe get one of those from you? I've got my So Shang, "Catherine Anderson", and E. Ebbingei mixed up from losing tags and I can't tell them apart. Good news is they're all planted out from 15"s now and taking off even more.
Well Ive never seen any thorns on any Elaeagnus so I wonder if I have a So Shang. Are the thorns only on mature wood?
Hi Mark, have you or anyone you know in our area(san diego county) had any fruit yet?? i have one in my front yard about 3 years from a 5 gal. no fruit or bloom yet. Patrick
