Elaeagnus × ebbingei Pleached Tree – 180cm Stem with 150 × 150cm Evergreen Screen
Elaeagnus × ebbingei trained as a pleached tree is one of the most effective evergreen screening solutions for modern gardens, providing instant privacy while maintaining an elegant and structured appearance. Raised on a clear 180cm stem and trained onto a substantial 150 × 150cm frame, it creates a large elevated screen that offers privacy without sacrificing valuable ground space.
The dense, glossy evergreen foliage remains attractive throughout the year, with rich green upper surfaces and distinctive silvery undersides that add texture and movement. Its vigorous yet manageable growth quickly fills the frame, creating a thick living screen that is highly effective for screening neighbouring properties, patios, and seating areas.
During autumn, small creamy-white flowers appear amongst the foliage, producing a sweet fragrance that adds further seasonal interest. The flowers are often followed by small ornamental fruits on established plants.
The elevated pleached form is particularly useful where privacy is required above fences or walls, allowing light and access beneath the canopy while maintaining screening at eye level.
Thriving in sun or partial shade, Elaeagnus × ebbingei is exceptionally tolerant of wind, coastal exposure, and urban conditions. Hardy, reliable, and low maintenance, it responds well to trimming and can be kept looking neat and formal with minimal effort.
Stylish, practical, and evergreen, this pleached Elaeagnus is an outstanding choice for creating year-round privacy and architectural structure in the garden.
