#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Elaeagnus in a full-sun location, and these broad-leaf evergreens need well-drained soil. Keep your eyes on your shrub throughout its first year and give it a deep watering as needed so you'll get the fastest growth. You won't need to worry about it after that first year. This is a very easy care, drought-tolerant plant once it's established. Elaeagnus can be pruned once a year to keep it smaller after it's done flowering. Deer leave it alone unless they are completely desperate.
