Growing Goumi Berry in a Permaculture System

[@mathieuTME]

I love the haliganus family 😂 just teasing, great video

[@R-yo5si]

I would love to see a video about goumi propagation. Any tips? Also, which varieties do you like best? Thanks and all the best.

This is very similar to the invasive Elaeagnus umbellata, the Autumn Olive species (noxious bush with late August berries) that grows all over the eastern U.S. You can still eat the berries though and they are very similar and high in lycopene. The species you speak of Elaeagnus multiflora (goumi) could likely be grafted onto the invasive species for more productive delicious varieties for this bush.

Yes, very well could be the case.

I have 3 plants of different varieties in Abilene Texas and they are growing great. I am in zone 8. Have you had any success in taking cuttings? I have had 2 out of 10 survive and would like to know if you have any ideas on getting them to take root. Thanks for any info. I love the sweet tartness of the goumi and would like to plant all over our 1 and a half acres.

I layered last year but haven’t checked on that. I also plan on trying some softwood cuttings this summer.

Nice im looking forward to this and honeyberry

[@ThePreparedHomestead]

Two plants definitely worth incorporating

[@mattallen9546]

are you guys selling cuttings? I am near spokane

[@ThePreparedHomestead]

Hi Matt, no we haven’t done that up to their point but are definitely planning on propagating this year. How many are you looking for?

@@ThePreparedHomestead I’m not sure yet. I’m just starting my permaculture based farm. I’d probably be interested in quite a few cuttings of different varieties.
