The Russian Olive tree, Elaeagnus Angustifolia, is an excellent windbreak and wildlife tree. It is extremely tolerant of environmental factors. The best windbreak tree for high wind areas. Pictured is the Russian Olive in a tree form. Russian Olive trees can be made into a hedge by planting 10’ apart in the row. The Russian Olive has low water requirements and displays a high tolerance for salt and alkali. Its stems, buds, and leaves have a dense covering of silvery to rusty scales. Leaves are egg...

This plant grows relatively slowly compared to other shrubs but makes up for it by its many uses. Carissa is excellent as a barrier or security hedge because of the large thorns; a large dense hedge of this is almost impenetrable. The plant also has white fragrant flowers about 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter for most of the year. The heaviest bloom is during the warmer months, and many varieties form large numbers of large--up to 2 inches long--oval-to-elliptical-shape d reddish fruits.

Native of Europe and Asia, it has long been promoted as a wildlife tree with its fruit attracting 50 species of birds---not often eaten by humans. A broad, spreading form with pendulous branches, becoming almost vinelike if supported. Light olive green foliage with metallic, creamy brown sheen on twigs and undersides of 2 long leaves. Small yellow flowers in late autumn with gardenia-like fragrances.

We think the Russian jade looks as nice or maybe better then Canadian jade. Very hard to see the difference between the two. These are a smooth oval, measuring about 13mm wide by 18mm hole to hole by 4.25-4.94mm thick and with abouty a .5mm hole. Super glass like polish, great even shapes and great holes and super color. They do have a bit darker matrix sprinkled troughout the beads and are semi-translucent. Can't find much of a flaw in these. Sample strand contained 25 beads.

Low water requirements, grows as high as 10,000 feet. A deciduous shrub that seldom exceeds 15 feet in height and occasionally suckering to form a slowly spreading clump. An easily grown plant, it prefers a rich loamy soil and thrives in any soil that is not too dry or water-logged. The largest yields, and best quality fruits, are produced when the plant is grown in a sunny position, though it should also do reasonably well in semi-shade. The plants are fairly lime tolerant...
