Elaeagnus macrophylla, the broad-leaved oleaster, is a species of flowering plant native to eastern Asia.
Growing to 4m (13feet) tall by 8m (26feet) broad, it is a substantial spreading evergreen shrub, with round glossy leaves which are silvery when young. Heavily fragrant cream flowers in autumn are followed by red fruit in spring.[1]
Elaeagnus × submacrophylla, formerly known as Elaeagnus × ebbingei, is a hybrid between E. macrophylla and E. pungens. The hybrid and its cultivars are grown in gardens as ornamental plants.[2]
