Title: 50L
Sale price$600.00

Elaeagnus ebbingei, commonly called Silverberry or Oleaster Hedge, is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its gleaming silvery-green, leathery leaves and subtly fragrant white flowers in autumn. Offered in a substantial 50L size, this plant establishes quickly, providing an effective and attractive privacy screen or windbreak.

With a mature height of 2–4 meters and width of 2–3 meters, Elaeagnus ebbingei forms a dense, bushy habit ideal for hedging or as a standout ornamental shrub. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, tolerates drought once established, and withstands a range of soil types including coastal sea spray conditions.

This low-maintenance shrub looks excellent in formal hedges or naturalistic garden settings, delivering year-round texture and seasonal floral interest. Moderate watering during its first year supports strong growth, after which it becomes a resilient, easy-care landscape asset.
