Elaeagnus angustifolia

Tree: Russian Olive

Very hardy, fast growing tree with striking silver foliage that provides great color contrast. Scented, small, yellow spring blooms followed by silver berries. Used as a colour-contrast specimen tree or for screens and windbreaks. Requires well-drained soil; very high tolerance to salt, heat, and drought once established. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. Prune as necessary while dormant; late winter/early spring is best; suckers and dead branches can be removed anytime.

Available in select potted and caliper sizes.
