Russian olive is a medium-sized deciduous tree that is drought-resistant. For a very common tree, this is generally not thought of as a good source of food for humans, yet a large number of compounds have been derived from Russian olive making this tree a good source of flavonoids, alkaloids, minerals and vitamins. The fruit of the Russian olive provides food for cedar waxwings, robins, grosbeaks, pheasants and quail.
