                      Autumn olive grows in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist well-drained soils. It becomes quite competitive even in poor soils by fixing nitrogen in its roots. This plant survives where many other plants would struggle, it is highly tolerant of drought and erosion, but it does not tolerate wet sites.
