Elaeagnus x ebbingei, commonly known as oleaster, is an evergreen tree, here trained into a pleached form to create instant screening or height on clear stems. The foliage is a notable feature, with oval leaves that are glossy dark green on top and silvery underneath, giving a distinctive two-tone shimmer as they move in the breeze. The dense, bushy growth habit makes it particularly effective for pleaching, forming a clean block of foliage on a lollipop-style stem that provides privacy without taking up excessive ground space. In autumn, small, inconspicuous but highly fragrant creamy-white flowers appear, hidden among the leaves. Though easily overlooked visually, their sweet scent carries well and can perfume an entire garden area during this period. These are followed in spring by small oval fruits that ripen to an orange-red colour. This pleached oleaster is a good choice for coastal gardens, being tolerant of salt-laden winds, and it also copes well with exposed or windy sites. It adapts to a wide range of soil types, including clay, and tolerates both sun and partial shade, making it a versatile option for structured screening or boundary planting in a formal or contemporary garden setting.
