The autumn olive is a native plant of China, Japan and Korea that made its way to the United States in 1830. In the 1950s it was widely promoted as a great way to provide wildlife habitat and erosion control in environmentally disturbed areas.
Unlike the fruit trees that we are familiar with, such as the peach, the olive does not set fruit-. ing buds in the fall. Instead, the olive will only. set flower buds after being exposed to cool. night (35-50 F) and mildly warm day tempera-. tures (<80 F) during the winter.
