90/120cm Pot Grown Oleaster
(Elaeagnus x ebbingei)

It is unusual that the Oleaster hedge produces bell-shaped flowers in autumn, and berries in spring, as we would expect them to appear in reverse order, but this only adds distinct interest to 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 little bit of wildlife interest to the garden.

The Elaeagnus x ebbingei is relatively fast growing, at roughly 30-50cm per year. Though it is fast growing, however, it is rather easy to maintain, meaning you have a stunning and dense hedge that will not give you too much trouble over the years.

This̴Ì?90/120cm potted Oleaster plant is fast-growing and will exceed 2.5m tall when planted in good conditions.

As a hardy evergreen hedge, the 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, the Oleaster can be ideal for exposed sites.

  • Growth height: Fast (40-60cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 2.5m+ Tall
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, Exposed, Inland
  • Aspect: Full shade, Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting. Just ensure you keep it well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.̴Ì?

You should only have to worry about trimming your Oleaster in the late summer, once it has flowered (and that is if you are forming a hedge). All you need to do is simply trim/cut away any diseased or unruly shoots to maintain the shape. As well as this, ensure that any plain green leaved shoots are removed as and when they appear- and cut back to where they have come through on the plant. If you are wanting to keep the fruit (berries) for yourself, or for the wildlife, then ensure any pruning is carried out in mid-spring through to April and May.
