Elaeagnus × ebbingei Pleached (Potted, 180cm Stem, 120x120cm Frame) – Evergreen Elegance with Practical Screening Power
This pleached Elaeagnus × ebbingei, trained on a 180cm clear stem with a full 120x120cm frame, offers refined structure and year-round privacy in a compact footprint. Its densely clothed framework of silvery-green foliage provides an elegant solution for screening above walls and fences, softening boundaries while allowing airflow and light beneath. The pleached format is ideal for formal designs, modern courtyards, or dividing garden spaces with clean architectural lines.
With tough, leathery evergreen leaves and sweetly scented silvery-white flowers in autumn, it’s as functional as it is beautiful. In addition to its ornamental value, this low-maintenance plant is highly resilient—tolerating urban pollution, coastal exposure, and drought once established. Whether used as a stylish living wall or to frame paths and patios, this pleached Elaeagnus delivers evergreen structure with minimal effort.
