Elaeagnus x Ebbingei Compacta Pleached Wall Frame 35 Litre 120x70cm

Elaeagnus × ebbingei ‘Compacta’ Pleached Wall Frame (120 × 70 cm)

Stylish and evergreen, Elaeagnus × ebbingei ‘Compacta’ is a versatile shrub trained here as a pleached wall frame, perfect for adding instant screening or structure. Its neat framework of glossy green foliage provides year-round coverage in gardens, patios, and courtyards.

In autumn, it produces tiny, fragrant cream-coloured flowers that may be followed by small orange fruits. More compact than the species, this form is especially well-suited to pleaching, offering a tidy, formal appearance with excellent resilience to pruning, pollution, wind, and coastal exposure.
