Elaeagnus Compacta Pleached 3/4 Std 140/150cm Stem 120x150cm Frame

Elaeagnus × ebbingei 'Compacta' (Pleached, 3/4 Std, 140–150cm stem, 120×150cm frame)

Common name: Compact Elaeagnus

A versatile, evergreen pleached tree ideal for screening, privacy, and architectural structure in small or modern gardens. Elaeagnus 'Compacta' features dense, leathery green leaves with silvery undersides, held on a neatly trained frame above a clear 3/4 standard stem. This compact cultivar offers excellent year-round coverage while requiring minimal maintenance.

In autumn, small, silvery-white flowers release a sweet fragrance and are followed by small orange fruits on mature plants. The silvery foliage undersides gently catch the light, adding texture and contrast to the garden.

Tolerant of coastal conditions, urban pollution, and a range of soils. Thrives in full sun to light shade and is drought-tolerant once established. A smart, space-efficient solution for screening patios, boundaries, or overlooking windows.

Position: Full sun to light shade
Soil type: Well-drained; tolerant of most types including poor or chalky soils
Suitable for: Pleached screens, privacy planting, patios, boundary definition, formal or contemporary designs
