US - Jul 8, 2026 - The United States encouraged widespread planting of Russian olive trees during the 1900s to create windbreaks and wildlife habitat, but the trees spread along western rivers, replacing native cottonwood forests and altering bird communities - Russian olive trees were planted to protect western farms from harsh winds and soil erosion.
