Elaeagnus pungens 'Maculata' 3 Litres
Elaeagnus pungens 'Maculata' is a cultivar of the evergreen shrub Elaeagnus pungens, also known as thorny olive. This cultivar is prized for its variegated foliage, which features bold, yellow foliage narrowly margined in dark green. The leaves are oval in shape, with wavy edges, and grow up to 10cm long.
This shrub can grow up to 4 metres tall and 3 metres wide, and is easy to grow in a range of conditions. It is drought-tolerant and can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy and clay soils. 'Maculata' is best grown in full sun to partial shade.
In addition to its attractive foliage, Elaeagnus pungens 'Maculata' produces small, fragrant flowers in the autumn, which are followed by small, reddish-brown fruit that is edible but not particularly palatable.
This cultivar is often used as a specimen plant in garden settings or as a hedge or screening plant due to its dense growth habit and thorny stems, which can deter unwanted visitors. It is also used as a landscape plant in commercial and municipal settings.
