Thanks white tiger! Isn't it amazing that the cure for what ails us is always right under our nose(s)? I looked up a particularly annoying "weed", goatshead, and found that it was used in American Indian & Chinese Medicine for many things.
Our local nursery carries Russian Olive saplings so I think that that will be on our tree list for next year...since I don't believe the fruit is edible, we passed them over...
However, if you ever need some fresh olive leaf let me know. It is certainly within my grasp! The trees grow everywhere around here and I'm sure my neighbors won't mind a little harvesting... :D
