Elaeagnus × ebbingei ‘Fruitlandii’ is a vigorous, upright evergreen known for its leathery green leaves with silvery undersides and its resilience in challenging conditions. It produces small, highly fragrant white flowers in fall, followed by small, ornamental berries. Maturing around 10 to 15 feet tall and wide, it grows quickly and makes an excellent screen, hedge, or background plant. Fruitlandii tolerates salt, wind, poor soil, and drought once established—making it a tough, dependable option for larger landscapes.
