Elaeagnus × ebbingei 'Compacta' Pleached Standard

Tidy evergreen screen with silver-green foliage and excellent year-round structure

The pleached form of Elaeagnus ebbingei 'Compacta' offers a smart, space-efficient solution for evergreen screening. Trained on a tall clear stem with a clipped rectangular head, it’s perfect for creating privacy above fences or walls, defining boundaries, or adding formality to garden layouts.

This variety features dense, silvery green foliage with a slightly wavy texture, and small, highly fragrant flowers appear in autumn. More compact than standard Elaeagnus, ‘Compacta’ is ideal for tighter spaces while remaining tough, drought-tolerant, and suitable for coastal and urban sites.
