Salt- drought- and poor-soil-tolerant, it provides a silvery backdrop to almost any garden. Russian olives can be trained or pruned into a tree form, however, note that they can become unruly if not pruned occasionally.
Invasive in Ontario and other parts of North America.
Grow Me Instead recommends Hamamelis virginiana or Cornus sericea as possible alternates.
