Elaeagnus x ebbingei

Common Name:
Ebbing's Silverberry

Description:
Elaeagnus x ebbingei is a hardy, fast-growing evergreen shrub prized for its dense, silvery-green foliage with a shimmering underside. This tough and versatile plant is ideal for hedging, screening, or windbreaks, providing year-round interest and excellent privacy. In autumn, it produces small, highly fragrant, creamy-white flowers, followed by ornamental, edible berries that attract birds. Elaeagnus x ebbingei thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly tolerant of drought, coastal conditions, wind, and poor soils. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and can be pruned to shape. Its resilience and adaptability make it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens.
