Elaeagnus ebbingei ‘Viveleg’ Espalier Frame
€120.00
Description
Neat, evergreen, and beautifully architectural, Elaeagnus ebbingei ‘Viveleg’ trained on an espalier frame is a lovely way to bring structure, privacy, and year-round greenery into the garden. With its tidy framework and handsome silvery-green foliage, it offers a more refined, space-conscious alternative to looser screening plants.
This form is especially useful where width matters just as much as height. Trained from the ground on a frame measuring approximately 85cm high by 50cm wide, it creates an instant panel of evergreen interest that feels both practical and elegant. Whether used to define a space, soften a wall, or add rhythm along a boundary, it brings a calm, ordered feel to the garden.
Why we love it
- Evergreen structure all year round
- Trained form gives an instant architectural effect
- Silvery-green foliage brightens the garden beautifully
- Ideal for screening without taking up too much space
- A smart choice for formal and contemporary gardens alike
Best spot in the garden
Elaeagnus ebbingei ‘Viveleg’ grows well in full sun or partial shade and is happy in most well-drained soils. It is tough and reliable once established, making it well suited to Irish gardens, including more exposed or coastal settings.

- Adding structure against walls or fences

- Courtyard and urban gardens
What to expect
