Silverberry in pen and ink

Another pen and ink wonder. Elaeagnus commutata, which translates as Silverberry or Wolf Willow. It's not actually a willow so I prefer the other name.

Unfortunately, it hides its fruit under its leaves (as opposed to hiding its light under a bushel) so I had to approach the thing from the underside if I wanted to get the fruit in.

And since getting the fruit in was the entire point of the doodle... well, there you go.
