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
