Elaeagnus pungens ‘Fruitlandii’ is a dense, spiny, and fast-growing evergreen shrub featuring leaves with the upper side a wavy, matte olive-green, while the underside is heavily dotted with silvery-white and brown scales and intensely fragrant, small, bell-shaped, creamy white to silvery-white fall flowers. Its branches feature sharp, prominent spurs that act as thorns. Uses include security hedge, windbreak, barrier, privacy screen, mass planting, erosion control. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. It tolerates partial shade to full sun. Prefers sandy loams, but is adaptable to a wide range of soils (acidic, alkaline, sandy, clay, or poor soils), provided they are well-drained. Moderate water needs till established, then it is exceptionally drought-tolerant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 0°F
