Description

Elaeagnus ebbingei 'Compacta' is a fast-growing yet compact evergreen Oleaster shrub. It features slender dark green glossy leave. In autumn, small fragrant white flowers bloom, adding seasonal interest to the evergreen foliage.

'Compacta' will typically reaches a mature height of 1.5m and a spread of 1m. It thrives in moist but well-drained soils and full sun.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
