Central and west Asia in deep loamy or sandy, slightly alkaline and salty soils near water bodies at altitudes 4,500 to 6,000 feet (1,371.6 to 1,828.8 meters) above sea level describes where Russian olive grows. The 12- to 30-foot- (3.66- to 9.14-meter-) high shrub or 30- to 45-foot- (9.14- to 13.72-meter-) tall tree (Elaeagnus angustifolia) favors floodplains, irrigation ditches, marshes, riverbanks and stream courses. It survives drought, flooding, heavy clay and silting as native flora from Kazakhstan and Russia through Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey and as naturalized vegetation in North America.
