Further Information
You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge.
As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.
For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice

Elaeagnus ebbingei 'Limelight' Hedge Plants Description
Oleaster Limelight is quite fast growing at approx 30-45cm p.a. and should be trimmed to shape in Spring. This evergreen hedging plant performs best in partial shade or sun and is happy in dry soil, seaside gardens and exposed hedging sites. The leaves of Oleaster 'Limelight' have yellow patterning in the centre with a bright lime-green edge, hence their name. This is in contrast to Oleaster 'Gilt Edge' which has leaves which are green in the middle with a yellow or gilded edge. You can find other colourful and variegated leaves in our colourful hedging department.
Like all variants of Eleagnus x ebbingei, Oleaster 'Limelight' has creamy white flowers which appear in Autumn, followed by small orange berries which appear later in spring. We also have a variety of other species in both our hedging with berries and flowering hedging departments.

What are root types?
Root types explained.
-
Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
-
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
-
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
-
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
