    Trying to identify red berry w/ white specks
    I am trying to identify a small red berry with white specks. The berry skin is fairly translucent. It grows on a small shrub with silvery green leaves. The berries are close to the stem rather than drupes. It appears similar to some species of buffaloberry, but so far I haven't been able to find it listed anywhere. The berries are edible.

    Thanks!

    I believe those are Elaeagnus multiflora, or Goumi. They are indeed edible (PS what do they taste like? I take it you've eaten them, if you know they're edible. I've never had one myself.) They have about seven times as much lycopene as tomatoes -- lycopene is said to be a cancer fighter.

    Hi! Rini, and welcome to AMHD :)

    A tough choice to make
    Syzygium luehmannii - Wiki


    Or

    Elaeagnus multiflora - Wiki


    Tough because both offer the same qualities; Edible, clove like taste, and offer nutraceuticals that are beneficial to the body.

    Thanks for all the answers. I found out it is called both Japanese silverberry and autumn olive.
