Question
Hi there. I found a plant on the edge of my driveway that seems to be either Russian olive or autumn olive. I am in Rockport, ME - Knox county. The known distribution of either doesn't cover my county in Maine. Thanks for your help.
Answer
Dear kcoluzzi, you have photographed Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn-olive). This species is found throughout much of Maine at this point--thank you for sending in an observation. Best wishes.
