The narrow-leaved olive willow (Elaeagnus angustifolia), also called Russian olive or Bohemian olive tree, is very popular with bees because of its nectar-rich flowers. The fruits of the multi-flowered olive (Elaeagnus multiflora) are very popular with birds.
Most olive willows are extremely robust: They can withstand hot, inner-city climates, air pollution and, with a few exceptions, are extremely drought-resistant. In addition, they are very wind-resistant, grow on almost any soil and also tolerate temporary flooding.
