Paper Bush or Russian Olive

The strong silvery-green leaves of the Paper Bush, or Russian Olive, are seemingly impervious to cold weather. Known for the shimmering effect from the speckling of silver, the leaves are full and plentiful, making for a well-clipped hedge that retains its density all year round. Tolerant to the most cold and wind-hardy, the bolt upright Paper Bush is a fast growing evergreen which will reach a size of 3 x 2 metres.

Suitable for: Hedging, screening or group planting.

Features: Cold and wind hardy, clips well into a hedge.
