Elaeagnus
Umbellate is easily confused with a closely related species, the
Russian olive. Elaeagnus Umbellate has nitrogen-fixing root nodules
which allow it to thrive in poor soils. Typical habitats are disturbed
areas, roadsides, pastures and fields in a wide range of soils.
Elaeagnus Umbellate is drought tolerant. It does not do well on
wet sites or in densely forested areas. Russian olive can be found
in dry to moist soils, but does particularly well in sandy flood
plains.
