Plants for a Future raves about the fruit. Is it good? Easy to grow?

Should be interesting to see the replies to this, Eleagnus x ebbingei is a
great hedge plant with scented flowers in Autumn, many forms have lovely
variegated foliage, but fruit? I have never seen any, but then if they are
hedges I suppose they may get cut off! its also not 100% hardy if you are in
a cold place.

Ours has small berries about the size of a small olive or rose hip,
green with some reddish streaks IIRC, but pretty insignificant. Never
tried eating them though, if that's what Steve means.
