Elaeagnus x ebbingei
Also Known As - Ebbinge's silverberryElaeagnus (Elaeagnus x ebbingei) is an evergreen shrub that is commonly found in many gardens. It has silvery-green oval shaped leaves and small fragrant white flowers which bloom in the late spring and summer months. This shrub is quite easy to look after and is quite adaptable to most soils and is tolerant of partial shade. It also produces attractive yellow-orange fruits. Elaeagnus is great for providing year round colour in a border and looks particularly good when planted against a wall or backdrop. It can grow anything from 3-5 feet in height and can make a great hedge or privacy screen.

watering
Elaeagnus (Elaeagnus x ebbingei) should be watered once a week in the summer, and once every 2 weeks in the winter. Depending on the weather, you may need to water your Elaeagnus more often. When watering, give it a deep, thorough soaking, making sure the soil is damp but not wet. When the top inch or so of soil becomes dry, it's time to water. If you have Elaeagnus growing in a pot, you may need to water it more often. The potting soil can become dry more quickly than soil in the ground, so keep an eye on it, and water it as needed.
sunlight
Elaeagnus (Elaeagnus x ebbingei) prefers full sun to partial shade exposure and performs best in well-drained soils. The plant should receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sun daily, preferably in the morning and early afternoon. When planted in an area of full shade or heavy shade, elaeagnus will not reach its full potential and may become spindly or suffer from stunted growth.
pruning
Elaeagnus (Elaeagnus x ebbingei) should be pruned twice a year in late winter or early spring and again in summer. Pruning in late winter/early spring should be done before new growth begins. Pruning in summer should be done after flowering, around mid- to late summer. When pruning, only about 1-third of the previous years' growth should be removed. Dead, diseased, or damaged branches should always be removed. Excessive pruning can cause dieback, so pruning should be done with caution and only when necessary. In most cases, light thinning of branches to improve air circulation and to open up the plant's canopy is all that is necessary.
