I seem to recall eating autumn olives here afer festivals of old, but the area is far too shaded now. Maybe they never grew here and I am confusing the spot with another. But, I also remember a troll under the bridge, and we all know that's right, so...Not to fear, we did locate other suitable autumn olives for munching.

I'm sure there were autumn olives there--maybe removed for invasive alien remediation!
Cool!!
I bet you are right! There has been a pretty aggressive campaign against certain invasives anyway, like garlic mustard.
But you still found some, right? SO they didn't get it all.
I worry about invasive aliens. Did you ever take a course in bio geograhy? Interesting. But eradicating invasive aliens once they get a toehold may be an exercise in fuiltiy. When I was at ESF, I worked hard on eradicating purple loosestrife with many other studetns and teachers and you can see just how successful that effort was.
