Elaeagnus Ebbingei 4-5ft (120-150cm) Rootballed

Elaeagnus Ebbingei is a fast-growing evergreen hedging plant, valued for its attractive dark green foliage with distinctive silvery undersides and its excellent screening qualities. Sometimes known as Silverberry or Russian Olive, this hardy hedge plant is ideal for creating dense, low-maintenance boundaries in both inland and coastal gardens.

Each of these Elaeagnus Ebbingei hedge plants is 4-5ft (120-150cm) in height and supplied root balled, meaning they are field grown and carefully lifted with a soil-wrapped root system during the dormant season. These chunky, well-established plants quickly thicken out to form a dense hedge after planting.

• Evergreen Foliage – Retains its leaves throughout the year for reliable privacy and year-round garden structure.
• Fast Growing Hedging Plant – Typically grows around 1-1.5ft (30-45cm) per year when left untrimmed, making it an excellent option for establishing a hedge quickly.
• Highly Fragrant Flowers – Produces small white flowers in autumn with a strong sweet fragrance, especially noticeable on warm days.
• Excellent Coastal Tolerance – Handles salt spray, strong winds, and exposed positions exceptionally well, making it ideal for coastal gardens.
• Dense Screening – Creates a thick evergreen hedge perfect for privacy, shelter, and noise reduction.
• Low Maintenance – Easy to maintain with a simple annual trim to keep the hedge neat and tidy.
• Adaptable to Most Soils – Grows well in a wide range of soil conditions and tolerates both full sun and partial shade.

Elaeagnus Ebbingei is commonly used for hedges between 4-6ft (120-180cm) in height and responds very well to clipping. We recommend planting these hedge plants approximately 60cm (2ft) apart in a single row to create a dense and established hedge over time. Using a good quality planting compost and watering thoroughly during the first year will help encourage strong root establishment.

Whether you're creating a smart evergreen boundary, adding shelter to an exposed garden, or looking for a fast-growing hedge that performs well in difficult coastal conditions, Elaeagnus Ebbingei is a dependable and versatile choice.
