Elaeagnus.

Yep.

Embothrium and gg.

Thank you both.

Next it's just a matter of which particular cultivar.

Nah!!

Logged as variegated cv. Beyond that, as far as I am concerned, is just 100% guess work.

When I lived in Australia, I discussed this with a few guys I knew in the trade. The consistent opinion was "cultivar names are generally total BS".

Jim Smith discovers a sport or crosses X & Y, propagates on and sells it as XXXX 'Beautiful'. Fred Bloggs discovers a sport or crosses his plants, propagates on and sells it as XXXX 'Gorgeous'. "Same" plant with 2 different names and the longer the parent plant(s) have been in cultivation, the more possible different names for the "same" plant

With modern DNA analysis, it 'should' be possible to be definative with modern cultivars, but any cultivars that have been around for a few years are just anybody's guess.

Two fairly common cultivars of marginally variegated Elaeagnus x ebbengii are 'Olive Martini' and 'Gilt Edge.' If yours has prominant thorns, it could be Elaeagnus pungens variegata, I suppose. Leaves on pungens are smaller. I can't really get a sense of scale.

Thanks Dave and linaria

Didn't see or get spiked by any thorns.

I thought the pen would have given a scale :-))

Yes, I saw the pen, and going by that I'd say pungens, since leaves look a bit on the small side, but if no thorns, then maybe not!
