Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Ebbing’s Silverberry, Elaeagnus × ebbingei
One of the hardest-working evergreen screens available, Elaeagnus × ebbingei delivers dense, year-round coverage with exceptional tolerance for exposed and coastal conditions. At advanced sizes, it establishes immediately as a serious structural element, no waiting, no compromise.
Why Ebbing's Silverberry
Rapid screening ability: Establishes quickly to form a dense, impenetrable boundary at height.
Distinctive evergreen foliage: Glossy green leaves with silver-grey undersides provide texture and visual depth year-round.
Exceptional wind tolerance: A proven performer in exposed, coastal, and high-wind landscapes where lesser species fail.
Broad site adaptability: Performs reliably across a wide range of soils, aspects, and Australian climate zones.
Low maintenance once established: Responds well to shaping and requires little intervention to maintain form and density.
Ideal Applications
Boundary and privacy screening: Delivers tall, dense hedging along property lines with immediate effect.
Windbreak planting: Protects exposed landscapes and outdoor living areas from prevailing winds.
Coastal and waterfront properties: Handles salt-laden air and harsh maritime conditions with ease.
Structural shrub or trained form: Can be managed as a large feature shrub or lifted to a small multi-stem form for more formal landscapes.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1 to 1.5m

Best Planting Season: Autumn to spring
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable to most well-drained soils including sandy, clay, and poor soils; tolerates coastal conditions and mild drought once established
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first 12 months to encourage strong root establishment, then reduce to occasional deep watering during dry periods. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
