Russian Olive Program

The Russian Olive tree, as opposed to native American silverberry, is a highly invasive species in some parts of the United States and Canada.

The latin name of this tree is Elaeagnus angustifolia. Though it looks very similar to the common olive tree,  they belong to different plant families. Getting rid of Russian olive is very labor-intensive but quite straightforward.
