Discover Elaeagnus angustifolia, renowned as Russian Olive, an exceptional shrub that seamlessly combines aesthetic appeal with resilience. Ideal for hedges in exposed or maritime areas, it boasts a rapid growth rate and remarkable pruning tolerance, although it maintains an open structure, rather than a dense screen. Its nitrogen-fixing ability enriches the soil, turning your garden into an organic haven. Characterized by its striking silvery-green foliage and aromatic, creamy yellow flowers, this hardy plant thrives in full sun and withstands drought, poor soil, and high salinity. Originating from a vast region spanning southern Europe to the Himalayas, it has now adapted well in parts of North America too. Despite its beauty, it's worth noting the species is considered invasive in certain U.S. regions due to its ability to outcompete native vegetation. Beyond landscaping, its essential oils enhance perfumes, and its edible fruit is utilized in traditional Persian cuisine. Elevate your garden with the robust charm of Russian Olive.
