Re: small trees to identify

I agree, some type of eleagnus.
Eleagnus is sold at every nursery in the area and widely planted as a
screening material.
The small fruits are supposedly a good source of antioxidants, and the
flowers smell wonderful in the fall.
I've only seen reddish fruits (in January) on the nursery types. There
are several types, and I don't know if all are invasive or not.
