Autumn Olive is a shrub growing upwards of 20 feet tall. It is easily identified by its elongated oval leaves, green on the top-side, while being more silver on the underside. Similar to Honeysuckle, it produces small, red berries. This invasive can grow into very thick stands and chokes out native vegetation.
