Elaeagnus x ebbingei Pleached Tree

Elaeagnus x ebbingei is an adaptable evergreen shrub that lends itself exceptionally well to pleached training. In pleached tree form, it provides structured height and dense screening that remains in leaf all year round — making it a go-to choice for privacy planting and stylish boundary definition in both traditional and contemporary gardens.

The silvery-green foliage has a subtle shimmer, with occasional fragrant creamy-white flowers in autumn. These blooms, although small, are highly scented and attractive to pollinators. Once pleached, the foliage forms a thick and manageable screen, offering an effective visual barrier that requires minimal pruning to retain its crisp shape.

This plant is well-suited to UK growing conditions, tolerating coastal winds, pollution, chalky soils, and partial shade — while still thriving in full sun. Its tough, drought-tolerant nature makes it particularly popular in exposed or challenging locations where other evergreens may struggle.

We typically supply pleached Elaeagnus x ebbingei with standard clear stems from 180–210 cm and trained frame sizes ranging from 120 × 120 cm to 150 × 150 cm.
