 85/ guomi, Elaeagnus multiflora

I forget about this plant. It grows in a pot outside all year with Lobelia cardinalis. I grew it from seed three years ago and it hasn’t fruited yet. It gets fresh compost in the spring. It grows well, no pests detected. It only gets rainwater. It’s somewhat sheltered from high wind but seems to be fine. No stress from high heat. 
 @adfbf87b supposedly fixes nitrogen 
 @ec45f895 yeah, that might explain why the cardinal flowers went beserk this summer. They looked mutated, the stalk was so thick and contorting on itself.
