    What type of hedge bush is this?
    Anyone know what kind of plant this is? It's a hedge at a house about 2 miles from me and I love it. Stays full and green in the winter also. Would appreciate any guesses. I'm in TN if that matters.

    The hedge h as the same leaves as my kiwi bush but it is a climber, not aggressive though. I imagine it could be used as a hedge. I can't post a picture but go to a garden site and see what the leaves look like.

    Hello, I recognize this shrub... its scientific name is Elaeagnus. El-aye-ag-nus
    I had them in Fla landscape and now in Texas. Great for hedge or any shape you desire.

    Hi all,
    Been awhile but I'm still eyeing this bush for my hedge around the front of my house. Does anyone know if I can take cuttings from it? I don't see little babies that seem to be EVERY WHERE on the wild hedge that grows in other places in my yard, so no little babies to pull up for starters. Didn't know if I could clip, put rooting compount on and try to get a root system growing before transplanting?

    And as for that ole hedge is that is my entire neighborhood, could anyone wager a guess as to what it could be. Puts out black/dark brown berries in the fall/winter. Clusters of them. My brother wants to try to find some grown plants of it and we need a name. No photo but can get one when I get back home in a week.

    It was in my dad's yard for over 25 years, he could trim it and it look nice or let it grow and it would get to 25' high, although kind of thin when letting it grow wild. The only reason I don't like it is it gets very lean in the winter.
