This is the shrub that I am going to plant when we take out the very poorly Eleagnus . Its leaf colour is not as bright, but it flowers, so that will be a bonus. It is vigorous.

Yes, they are, Skippy! They are about 3" long. It's a large specimen shrub which should grow quite fast once we get it in - I hope!

could you use it for hedging like our green privet Spritz ? it is very nice ...

I don't see why not, Amy - the only problem would be that the ordinary privet sold as hedging is grown such a lot that it is cheap to buy.
This is not widely grown. We got it at a specialist Nursery and it certainly wasn't cheap, I'm afraid. :-(

How has this taken spritz? Just bought one of these half price from my local garden centre. its last years stock that why it was reduced. I'm going to plant it to provide some shade once its grown up although its already 4ft tall.

How big are the leaves on this, Spritz? They look pretty big but a picture can be so deceiving.
