Elaeagnus

Elaeagnus is a durable, versatile shrub known for its silvery, leathery foliage and vigorous growth. Its dense branching provides year-round coverage, making it a reliable option for privacy screens, windbreaks, or background plantings. New growth emerges with a subtle bronze tint before maturing to a soft, silvery green that reflects light beautifully in the landscape. At maturity, Elaeagnus reaches 10 to 15 feet tall and wide with a naturally full, spreading habit. Its adaptability to a wide range of soils and its strong tolerance for heat and drought make it especially useful in the North Texas climate.
