Description

Elaeagnus (Elaeagnus spp.), also known as Silverberry or Autumn Olive, is a hardy, evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub prized for its silvery-green foliage, fragrant flowers, and adaptability. Native to Asia and parts of Europe, Elaeagnus is known for its dense, fast-growing habit, which makes it an excellent choice for privacy screens, hedges, or windbreaks. In late fall, it produces small, tubular, fragrant flowers that are creamy white or silver and attract pollinators. These are followed by small, red or silver edible berries that ripen in late winter or spring, providing food for wildlife.

Elaeagnus can grow to heights of 10 to 15 feet and a similar spread, though it can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. Thriving in USDA zones 6-10, this shrub is extremely adaptable, tolerating a variety of soil types, from sandy to clay soils, as long as they are well-draining. Elaeagnus is also highly drought-tolerant and can handle salt spray, making it suitable for coastal or xeriscape gardens. Its resilient nature allows it to thrive in both full sun and partial shade.

With minimal maintenance needs, Elaeagnus benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove any leggy growth. It is generally resistant to pests and diseases, further adding to its appeal as a low-maintenance shrub. With its fast growth, dense foliage, and seasonal interest, Elaeagnus is ideal for gardeners seeking a tough, attractive shrub that provides both privacy and a touch of elegance to the landscape year-round.

In the spring, it produces small white flowers, and in the fall, female plants develop bright red berries that persist into winter, adding seasonal interest and providing food for birds and wildlife.

This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is hardy in USDA zones 7-10.
