Oleaster 40/60cm Root Ball (Elaeagnus x ebbingei)

Oleaster Hedge - Elaeagnus x Ebbingei - (40/60cm)

Description

It is unusual that Oleaster produces bell-shaped flowers during Autumn and berries in Spring, as we would expect them to appear in reverse order, but this only adds to the distinct characteristics of the plant. With this, the leaves are a rich, dark green with little silver specks and silver undersides, which can look remarkable when the wind begins to blow. Being an evergreen, this plant is sure to be the one to light up your space all year round, as well as giving you a bit of wildlife interest. 

Elaeagnus x ebbingei is relatively fast growing, at roughly 30-50cm per year. It's easy to maintain, however, meaning you can have a stunning and dense hedge without too much trouble over the years!

Key Features

As a hardy evergreen hedge, Oleaster is seen to be perfect for dry, windy, seaside or shady sites - though it is not recommended to place this plant in cold, very alkaline, or wet sites. Saying that, Oleaster can also be ideal for exposed sites.
