As we are potting up our Elaeagnus commutata (Wolf Willow) cuttings, we are noticing their nitrogen fixing root nodule!

These nodules are the result of an actinorhizal symbiosis between a nitrogen fixing bacteria (the actinomycete bacterium Frankia) and the young roots of the plant. Their ability to take atmospheric nitrogen and make it into a usable form for plants makes them an important species for reclamation and soil enrichment.

They are also used in reclamation due to their tolerance to infertile soils, drought, alkalinity, and their ability to grow in a variety of soil types. They reproduce by seed and also rhizomatically, which adds to their list of benefits "erosion control" and "shore stabilization".

This shrub is not only beautiful but also full of ecological services!
