I have an abundance of Autumn Olive Trees. They were brought in because the are fast growning and grow well in previously mined areas.
I make jam with them ( add a bit of cinnamon )
Fruit leather. We are in the process of making wine which I hear is good. I make a salve as well with autumn olive leaves and jewelweed. Amazing.
Great for scrapes, rashes, burns and my husband tried it for hemheroids after trying all else and was not having a problem in about a week. The bushes are amazing. They grow back fast. You can grow them from cuttings. And a beautiful home for birds. Squirrels, chipmunks. They only 15-20 yrs but when it dies another takes it’s place. If you research a bit they know there is evidence it fights cancer and they are still studying possibilities. Very healthy.
