The Oleaster Hedge (Elaeagnus) – The Ultimate Tough & Low-Maintenance Hedge

The Oleaster hedge, also known as Elaeagnus, is the perfect choice for those seeking a durable, resilient, and low-maintenance evergreen hedge. Its salt and wind resistance makes it particularly well-suited for coastal areas, where other hedging plants may struggle. With its year-round coverage and screening abilities, Oleaster is a favourite among gardeners and landscapers alike.

Its silvery-green foliage provides an elegant, unique touch to any garden, while in autumn, it produces small, fragrant flowers followed by edible berries, offering a valuable food source for local wildlife.
