H 40/50cm x L 100cm Instant Impact Oleaster
(Elaeagnus x ebbingei)

It‰ۡó»s slightly unusual that Oleaster hedging produces bell-shaped flowers during Autumn, along with berries in Spring (as we would expect them to appear in reverse order to this), however, this only adds extra interest to the plant. The leaves are rich and dark green with little silver specks/undersides.

Oleaster Instant Impact hedging will surely light up your space all year, as well as adding a bit of wildlife interest to the garden, too!

This instant impact Oleaster plant is fast-growing and can exceed 2.5m tall in good conditions.

As Oleaster is quite a hardy plant, it‰ۡó»s perfect for dry, windy, shady, exposed, and seaside sites- though we do not recommend place it in a cold/wet/alkaline site.

• Growth height: Fast (40-60cm per year)
• Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
• Soil type: Normal
• Exposure: Coastal, exposed, inland
• Aspect: Full shade, full sun
• Evergreen foliage? Yes

Buying Instant Impact makes it even easier- your plant will arrive on your doorstep fully matured, established, and ready to plant! All the beginning hard work has been done for you- you don‰ۡó»t even have to worry about the No. per metre. 1 instant impact trough = 1 metre of hedging.

You should only trim your Oleaster hedge in the late summer, after it has finished flowering. You will only need to trim/cut away diseased/unruly shoots as to maintain its shape. Ensure that any plain green leaved shoots are removed as and when they appear- cut back to where they have come through on the plant. If wanting the berries for yourself, ensure pruning is carried out in the middle of Spring.
