Has anyone ever heard of this tree?? The pronunciation is actually "Goomy" It produces very tart small berry, cranberry size, very good for making jelly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes, I've heard of it and seen it in our University Arboretum but other than there I've never seen one in nature or in a nursery. I am a Master Tech in a 13 acre L&G center for 9 yrs and we have never had any for sale.
The scientific name is Elaeagnus multiflora. Maybe you can find something with that name. Good luck!

I have a goumi or gummi berry bush in my back yard. It came from a nursery in Forest Hill, LA. It is quite colorful. Red berries in spring or early summer, back of leaf looks silver. My bush is 2 years old and was full of berries this year. Birds really enjoy them. I have not made jam or jelly but am told that it quite tasty; a little tarty. Quite a conversation piece. Leaves are green round the year.

I have two goumi berry trees. Got them eight years ago at Sherwood's Nursery in Sibley, Louisiana. I think he passed away a couple of years ago. He had a lot of neat plants there and was a very gifted Horticulturist .

My Grandmother had one in Louisiana. The berries were delicious. I moved to Florida and have not seen another tree since.

We have a goumi or gummi berry tree in our back yard. We bought it about 15 years ago in Sibley, Louisiana.
