Elaeagnus Ebbengei

A dense evergreen shrub with upright, spineless branches densely dressed with silver-scaled green foliage.  The stems and new growth are accentuated by brown scales.  Very small, intensely fragrant flowers open in the Fall and are followed by small red berries.  This makes an excellent hedge, foundation shrub or small accent tree.  It is resistant to maritime exposure and salt-laden winds. It can grow right next to the sea and when grown into hedge form, can give good wind protection.   Stays evergreen in mild winter climates and will tolerate all but extremely soggy soils.  It is as happy in full sun as it is in deep shade making it an all-around great choice for many landscape applications.
