elaeagnus ebbingei

[Michael P]

Ebbingei is a semi-dwarf compared to pungens. The upper surface on the leaves is a very dark green with s very pale "silvery" lower surface. Pungens has much paler gray-green upper surfaces and is faster growing.

Borrowing your thread: how similar to pungens is ebbingei? Are the Leafs almost identical? Other differences?

I have an ebbingei in the ground where I live but wonder how the pungens would compare

I think that the punguns has thorns and drop its leaves in fall if im correct.
Growth and leaves and fruits are similar but you could just defoliate the ebbingei in winter if you want to see the structure better at least i know some one who does that without problems

The ebbengei I bought does have a couple of thorns, but maybe not as many as pungens?

One has thorns, one does not. Otherwise pretty much the same.
