View full detailsElaeagnus hedging, also known as Oleaster, is a tough evergreen hedge choice for gardens where other plants struggle. It is particularly well suited to exposed, coastal and windy locations thanks to its resilience, leathery foliage and strong tolerance of salt-laden air.
Elaeagnus is often chosen where standard evergreen hedges fail. It performs particularly well in:
Elaeagnus has a steady growth rate and responds well to trimming. While not the fastest-growing hedge, it quickly forms a dense screen when planted at the correct spacing.
Elaeagnus hedge plants are typically supplied at larger sizes to achieve quicker impact:
Regular trimming will encourage bushy growth and help maintain a neat finish.
Although very resilient, newly planted elaeagnus should be watered well during its first growing season. Shelter from extreme wind initially will help plants establish more quickly.
Elaeagnus is chosen for durability rather than fine formality. If you are looking for a more traditional hedge shape, you may wish to explore alternatives within our main Hedging Plants collection.
