I was couple of weeks behind editing this one. Great looking variety.
Poseidon Cichlidon yes I would like to see that as well.
Was there an update for how this worked out?
Ordered 2. Jim from plants by mail
Planted one a year ago, 2ft tall, now 10ft, higher than my gate!
Jim. Thanks you got me. That’s a beautiful plant. I’m adding it to my border to screen out my neighbors.
Can we get a update on these Jim. That could be New ideas for your videos. Updates. On how plants doing
Nice plant. As you say Jim. They do like to stare at ya for a year. Till they take off
You had me at Olive Martini.
Just found this great video as I was doing research on hedge options for our back fence. Last year’s winter sub-zero temps took out our two fotinias that provided partial privacy, and now I want something that will grow quickly and can be kept manicured in front for a full sun flower garden. I saw these at a garden center and loved the color. Thanks for this video as it gave me more confidence in my choice!
Seems like an impressing plant, you're certainly ambitious to get it to grow so fast! I'd love to see an update down the road so we can see how fast is grows!
Thank you for all your awesome tips in growing these beautiful plants. I just bought 8 of them to stretch across the front of my property to help hide the road travel. I have also read that they produce wonderful fragrant flowers in the fall.
Thank You Jim, this is exactly what I have been looking for. I’m going to order 10 this week 😊. If you think of it next time you film in you yard could you please show us the progress that they have made since they were planted. Thanks a million. Have a blessed day. Carol from Florida 😊❤️👍
Thank you making this video. Would you be willing to take a photo of what the plants look like today, now that they have had some time to grow? I'm curious how much they have filled out in 3 months.
Oh that's just ol Jim talking to his plants again!! Lol
Thank you so much for talking about being able to prune down to the ground ! ❤
Thank you. Would love an update on these.
It’s 9 degrees in Boston. You look comfy wearing a t-shirt in february
Thanks so much for the information, there are several places I've wished I had a screen, didn't know what would grow fast enough to get to enjoy what I need it for. So thank you very much!!!!
Thank you for commenting.
I have a lot of deer in my area and loved hearing these were very deer resistant. However, I just thought I'd let you know that the deer have started eating on them. All summer no problem but this fall they are sampling. Waaaahhhhh!!!!!
I wonder if that is drought related.
@@JimPutnam Could be but the browsing started after our rains and I have a stream at the back of my house. I don't know why they chose to eat these two. They skipped over all the Anise planted in the same area (knock on wood!) so Anise is my shrub of choice at the moment. LOL!
I'm in the second season with these plants and I'm not getting the "fast" growing result. Plenty of watering, 10-10-10 fertilizer but little growth. I'm in Zone 6a, I covered them in the winter with burlap the first year. In the second year I left them uncovered and we got our typical cold snowy weather, some rain than freezing. We get plenty of ice/snow/freezing and sometimes it warms up a little and then BAM, more bad weather. This Spring the plants definitely had leaf damage but finally recovered as warm weather ensued. Still, now in August but there is no rapid growth. The leaves certainly have the lovely variegated colors. Thanks!!
this is just what i need to fill empty spots ! i’m so excited, need to go measure the spots and order today !
Hi Jim! Can you give us an update on how these are doing? I'm considering using these for a screen. Thanks!
Needed a fast growing screen that would grow in shade. Will give this a try! Thanks!
It's an easy one. Thanks for watching
Durable and pretty shrub, awesome recommendation, did a price check and seems very affordable for what it can do / withstand!
Excellent video. Reminiscent of my euonymus. I will definitely add it to my garden. Thanks for sharing
hi. can you do a video re update on how these shrubs are doing please. I am interested to see the growth rate. thanks.
Your not 😜,your helping all of us learn how to grow and make our yards impressive to all. Great 👍 j
I just planted 30 of these, was wondering on its existence. I need about 15 more, bought out 3 Lowe’s and local nursery but they haven’t replenished their stock for couple months.
These bush grow pretty fast. I have them in my yard
Can you do a updated video for us? I would like to see the growth on this tree/
shrub. Zone 9b here and this plant seems slow grower.
Ty
thx for all the info.. your channel is a lot of help.. keep it up
Just found your channel. Subscribed today. Thanks for all the fast privacy screening videos. We are building a new house right now and our only neighbor is 300 ft from the house. We have a thick forest between us in the summer but most of the trees are deciduous. I will be putting up a fence shortly and will be planting several of these Olive Martinis along the fence line along with Oakland and Needlepoint hollies. We want a dense border along the fence. We are in middle TN. So if you can suggest any other fast growing privacy shrubs and trees I would really appreciate it.
I think this video answers the question I had in your Burning Bush video. I’m looking for a privacy hedge that grows quickly and is deer-resistant. I live in New York’s Hudson Valley, so the thermometer can easily drop to 0-10F in the winter.
Very very deer resistant
Great Channel... I had a quick question. I want to plant these as a hedge around my patio. I live in Houston and it is the end of June, can I plant them now and water or do they need to be planted more in October? Thank you!
I planted these today. I spaced three of them about 6-7 feet apart from each other in a row. I hope that’s enough room for a privacy hedge.
Yes, that is a good spacing. Mine are a little to close really.
@@JimPutnam Unfortunately, those plants died during the very first season, despite the tender loving care. The nursery offered a discount on forsythia instead. Can’t recommend the plant or nursery, sorry to say.
I am interested in planting this along my fence line as well. I notice they get 10-15 feet wide. If I plant them close to fence line like you did, is there any chance they damage a wood fence? Can I trim the outer edge so it doesnt block sidewalk without harming it? Do you have pictures or video of how it looks now that it is full grown? Thanks!
Just getting into gardening. Just discovered you. This is now May 2020...quarantine! I'm in No. Virginia. Trying to find southern living olive martini elaeagnus. Can you help. We bought a reno cottage which we love. Now have to reno lawn and garden!!! Thx
Jim, I’m looking for that exact plant but for zone 5. Do you have a suggested alternative?
mine arrived today, my backyard feels like i’m in a fish bowl, a commons area where people either bring their dogs, or just come hang out, or walk through. my border is right next to the path, i feel like i live in a park, not easy living for an introvert. 😞
Glad I bought one. Then I found out they have thorns down near the trunk and it got me. Gonna be on the fence line so I don't care about the thorns.
I'm looking for an evergreen screen in zone 6, an area that's 9' deep by 12' wide and I don't want it to get taller than the roof of the single story garage. Would this work? The area is surrounded by concrete on 2 sides, one being the sidewalk next to the attached garage, and the other being next to the concrete patio behind the house.
Helpful video
Hi. I have a question for you. Is it possible to form it like a small tree?
Beautiful
It really is. I never thought an eleagnus would impress me.
Man they long time to get going.
Would you recommend them for South Florida?
Jim, what's your thoughts about Anise shrubs? We have a few and they grow great and can take over a large area?
Hi! I live in north east Oklahoma, would his be a decent plant to block out road noise? My backyard backs up to a street. Thanks!
Jim, that will be so very beautiful filled in by your fence. You are doing some good looking work in your yard. I have a VERY BLANK space between me and my neighbors house and really don't want to put up a privacy fence but would need something to grow VERY fast for screening. Would I be able to purchase from a local nursery an elaeagnus that is larger than your plants and if so, what would be the survival rate on planting one that is larger/older? Also, is the Olive Martini faster growing than Silverberry Pungens and the Glen St. Marys compact silverthorn? I really like the silvery/gray/green of the later two varieties. Which is the fastest growing and also I do not wish to have anything that will send off seedlings popping up everywhere like the dreaded popcorn tree!!! Thanks for any info.
Variegated plants are almost always slower growing than their green counterparts. You can find bigger eleagnus for sure, but this variety is so new that it may be a while before large ones are available.
Thank you for this video! This sounds like the shrub I am looking for as a hedge...I am in zone 6b with full sun. Looking for evergreen that is fast growing, deer resistant, clay soil, drought tolerant once establish and it is an evergreen too. Just no flowers but the leaves themselves look very pretty. Will this shrub do well in open space without a fence? Or need fence by it? I want to use as hedge to block view of main street traffic and noise in open space of 120' length by 12' width. Thank you for your info and help.
How do these do in acidic soil? I have an area I'd like to plant a few fast growing plants for privacy. The area's sunlight is dappled morning sun, shade around noon-2 and then a decent dose of late day sun until sunset, but it's an area with short leaf pines and camellias (I'm assuming the soil is more acidic based on the presence of pines and happy camellias and one happy holly). Thanks, always grateful for your informative videos!
Great. My soil is very acidic. Thanks for watching
Any update on how tall they got?
How high does it grow
I purchased a 3 gal. Olive Martini based on this video and notice the plant is growing in the container as 3 separate stems each about 1/2 size. Does Olive Martini grow as a multi stem bush form plant? If not, think it is safe to split the rootball into 3 separate plants? Thanks Jim for all the great info.
I wouldn't try to pull them apart. It is multiple cuttings that were grown together. You will likely kill one or more of them trying.
I need a screening plant that has to be in a container. Two separate areas ( 4 ft and 1 ft) do you think Olive martini may work?Could I put 2 plants together in a 4 foot though style container. And 1 separate plat by itself?
I live in indiana -zone 5B looks like -would this be a good choice? Thanks!
Would these work for noise barrier as well as privacy?
do these smell as good and strong as an ebbings silverberry?
How many years to get to 6 to 8 ft height. Looking for a screening plant
I can get these to six feet next year probably. Two full springs.
Would it be ok to plant in 7B during January?
My screening plant, Eleagnus pungence is starting to grow really well after 5 months. How should I start pruning it so that it will grow all the way to the ground and out ?
Do I just cut the stray pieces coming out or do I need to cut the front the back and the top and leave the sides that I want to connect to the other bushes? If so how aggressive should I cut or should it be a selective inside prune?
Thank you
I usually just take off the crazy limbs. You can get get after it as hard as you need to. Not going go hurt it.
Very helpful. I'm in zone 7B and have a oddly shaped narrow backyard in a cul-de- sac. I need something that will grow and, tall (12 feet-ish) and narrow. I was thinking emerald arborvitae but in a different video you said it might be too hot here. Half the yard is sunny and half shady under a pecan canopy. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
I used ligustrum recurvifolium and chindo Viburnums.
Thanks for your response! How wide do they grow? I need something in the 3-4 foot range.
Will the plant do well in northern Arizona we have really hot summers and 20degree nights also ,monsoons in summers . And we have clay soil !
These are always tough questions. The cold would be fine. Dry heat could definitely be a problem though.
How wide and tall if I don't prune?
Jim, great videos! Any thoughts on Skip Laurels (schipka cherry laurel)?
I love skip Laurels for a screen in the shade. West coast laurel is also great.
Imo skip laurels harder to grow (i am 7b)
Hi Jim. I really appreciate the helpful information you give in your videos, and I loved hearing about the Olive Martini Elaeagnus! On 10/23/2017, you published the video "Preparing Large Shrub to be Moved" about a camelia bush that had outgrown it's space but that you wanted to move and save. I'd really like to see what happened to that bush. Is it still around? Will there be a follow-up video (or have I missed it)? Thanks!
I haven't moved it yet. This never ending cold has not allowed it. I plan on moving it before my April tour.
Update?
Is there an update?
Do the the leaves stay on and remain evergreen in zone 6-7 winters?
I live in zone 7 and planted some a year ago. They stayed true to their color all winter long and was a bright color in the usually dreary winter landscape. I’m planting 8-10 more right now:)
My leaves dropped after I planted in February we had a lot of rain , but new growth in April, seems fine in 7a
Do they grow under black walnut trees?
Yes it will do fine and as a bonus it is a nitrogen fixing plant.
Do the leaves fall off in the winter?
No, it's evergreen.
Can you post an update please ?
Need a tall screen in shade that is deer resistant and suitable for zone 8, please? Sounds like this would be perfect and the gold edge would light up the shade. Now if I could find these out here on the west coast.
You could search online. For western Washington state there is Burnt Ridge Nursery but there are other options if you google around.
How do these compare to Wax Mrytles?
The eleagnus are more dense and faster growing. With that said, the wax myrtles are native in the southeast and that is important to lots of people.
@@JimPutnam I've called and emailed your Nursery about traveling 3 hours to do some shopping there. When getting the address to drive down 4/6 , I just noticed that your Nursery Earthworks is closed! Can you suggest another Nursery similar to yours? I am in Virginia.
@@JimPutnam your channel is amazingly helpful, organized.
How tall do these get?
About as tall as you would let them. I am going to keep mine around six feet, but they could go to fifteen in the future.
Lol you did entire video holding the plant
Update?
