Goumi (Elaeagnus multiflora): Prune to any shape, heavy fruiting, drought tolerant, nitrogen-fixing, wildlife friendly, self-fertile, frost-tolerant blooms, pest/disease free, adaptable to nutrient poor soil, and sturdy & strong. The more sun she gets, the more fruit you get! Goumi Berry has more heart-healthy lycopene than the tomato, has vitamins A, C and E, minerals, and is a fairly good source of essential fatty acids. i l.o.v.e. this girl! ;) we grow the Tillamook Goumi & Sweet Scarlet Goumi, Elaeagnus multiflora.

@@thundergun15 i don't have a good answer. my remark to Ambekia below was to google, google, google. i google til my eyes fall out; BUT, so many plants have been flying through nurseries during and since covid. you're not alone. i get it -- it's REALLY hard to find stock. however, there's many great nurseries. some are listed here: heppy.org/exotic/#nurseries_that_sell_types_of_exotic_fruit_trees_and_other_edible_plants i just thought of another group; i have NO affiliation but there's some awesome gardeners here (ie, search and/or, ask around): growingfruit.org/
I have the Carmine Goumi from Burnt Ridge which i hear is the same as the Tillamook. I thought of buying the Sweet scarlet but wasn't sure on the fruit size differences between them. i did purchase a goumi from a Cali nursery on line last autumn. They referred to it as a Sherman goumi. I guess i'll see where that leads in a year. I just came from Ross the fig guys channel and He swears up and down about the Carmine/Tillamook Goumi. He seems to have difficulty propagating it.
Carmine?!?!?! i wonder if it's a Tillamook named after a gardener's wife 😂. RE the fruit size (Till' vs SS) was clear; i really look forward to fatter berries. 🤯 interesting; i'm making a note; i knew only of the two i have, and the Red Gem. Carmine & Sherman -- let's see what's going on.... (thanks for the heads up!). propagation: edited off this vid: in Oct 2022, i stuck two pruned Till' branches into soil (maybe 2-yr wood and 1 was 1-yr wood). no hormones. both budded and leafed-out this spring. i dug one up early June 2023 -- no roots. i'm read that it takes 12 months to propagate by cuttings or layering :/ (heppy.org/goumi-elaeagnus/#Propagating_Goumi) thanks for the feedback Kinni
I have two sweet goumi plants. One's a scarlett and I can't remember the name of the other. I'm going to see if they can propagated otherwise I'll try air layering. Thanks for the video and I'll see you in the garden 🤗
I'm looking for fruits to plant next year, goumi looks like fantastic addition to my garden, are they self fertile or do they need cross pollination? Do you have haskap berry too? Been thinking about this one too.
Self fertile! Glad ur interested in the Goumi! More is here, heppy.org/goumi/ I have not worked with haskap berries yet; I sense that the they'll need a cool spot here in Maryland. I have them on my wish list. I just looked em up. Zone 2-7. They'll need shade in MD. What zone are you in? Goumi are resilient; flowers bloom early and an early frost doesn't phase them. Good luck!
@@heppylifestyle Thanks, great source of information. I didn't see the link because I was only listening to the video. I'm zone 6 so haskap should be fine here.
I have been looking for a plant for at least a year since I became aware of them but finding actual plants that are available and can ship to Illinois has remained elusive. I would start with seeds but I know from experience that can be tricky to get them to sprout and years before they are established.
My neighbour having Goumi Berries and I really like to duplicate where can I read and find information how to cut the branch and try to grow some roots and another tree? I know it's supposed to be simple but I know it's not easy to grow. Looking forward to get any information thank you
@naamaovadia years of effort went into my website; I got YOU covered, heppy.org/goumi#Propagating_Goumi cutting take awhile to root; you'll need patience and time. Please subscribe and share the vids!
no -- traditionally. I'm about to prune the sweet scarlet and will produce a lot of cuttings. however, the time-of-year matters; for scion (grafting), you'd need the cutting now but for insertion to soil medium it may be later. i heard from Great Escape Farms that Goumi have a low rooting rate; more about what i know is here, heppy.org/goumi-elaeagnus/#Propagating_Goumi thanks for stopping by!
I would like to be a goumi berry plant and I live in Michigan. I have been looking for a plant to buy a good plant, but I could not find one. I tried to order then from Amazon but they keep sending me seeds. Is there a place where I can order some plants?
Ambekia -- i'm sorry to hear of your troubles! you'd "like to be a goumi berry plant"? that's way cool 🤣 about the seeds / Amazon: avoid. i love amazon but folks selling plants, ironically, are sketchy. but, seeds do take about a year to germinate (we eat in May/June, stick seeds in soil, and they germinate the following spring). i think they have to go through the cold winter period in the soil ("stratification" or, most folks stratify using their fridge). to find them: google, google, google. i google til my eye fall out; BUT, so many plants have been flying through nurseries during and since covid. you're not alone. i get it. i'm SO overwhelmed with work; otherwise, i'd send you one. i don't ship plants so it's not like i know what i'm doing, and have the stuff. if you can't find a goumi by winter, let me know. we can work something out. if you or a friend is in the washington dc area, let me know. oh, and i hope you subscribed!! ;) sorry, i wasn't much help but you're not alone with the frustration of getting quality, unusual fruiting plants. sincerely, pete moss

Do you ever plan to sell cuttings or seedlings? Been trying to get my hands on one for 5 years now but no success. I wish nurseries carried them in Maryland
Well, I have them for pick-up only in Fort Washington, MD ;) Yes, I cannot believe more folks don't offer and plant the Goumi! It's a stellar fruiting shrub. I shy away from mailings -- it's a little too much for me. I have a few in 2-3 gal pots (had 1-5 flowers this yr), and little ones in 3/4 gal. I can be reached at usc333@gmail.com if you'd want to swing by. Maybe I should sell seeds but my issue is selling that I know works; this plant is not easy to propagate by cutting, from what I've read and hear.
@heppylifestyle That's great! I'm not too far away in Clinton so I'll email you. And yeah it doesn't make sense to me either... It's kinda frustrating but I guess it's not a "popular " plant. Don't really buy that seeing as it's almost always sold out oh well. You wouldn't happen to have marrion berry or Saskatoon berry would you?
@@shellysolomonart Clinton is close; have no marrion berry or Saskatoon berry. There are too many Black/Raspberries (and hybrids) to choose from :/. I do have something like Saskatoon berry; the fruit get gall and i don't spray so .... Plants I targeted, and those I grow are here, heppy.org/plants
@@heppylifestyle Ah ok I heard Marrion berry had the most "intense " flavor, I have a saskatoon if you'd like to try propagating it (its my number one favorite but I haven't tried the other Canadian service berries yet). Yeah it sucks theres an edible park in dc full of them and half the plants get gall but there are so many theres alot of berries left over birds aside. ok, I checked it out thats impressive!!! Do you plan on propagating/selling any like the jujubies? And I was surprised you didn't have tree collards on your list. I have 2 that should survive in MD if you'd like some cuttings.
@@shellysolomonart thank you for the offer for saskatoon but i've slowed down in collecting plants -- i have sooooo many to plant. i'm supposed to be grafting Jujube but ... maybe i can get to it, maybe not :/ (and graft Pawpaw & Persimmon....). i just googled tree collards. looks VERY interesting ... so ya i'd take one if it's rooted. looks like there's many varieties of tree collards.

Just pick 'em when they're ripe ;)
If unripe they'll be astringent but i pick clusters at a time once they ripen ;)
Ordered 2 plants of Carmine from Burnt Ridge Nursery and I think I'll graft one with Pippi.
Nice!! let us know how it goes!
