Reviewers note the trees arrive healthy, robust, and significantly larger than expected, providing immediate landscape impact.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Majestic Beauty is a fruitless variety. You will not have to deal with the messy, staining olives that typically drop from standard olive trees.
This tree grows to a mature height of 30 feet and a width of 25 feet. Ensure you plant it in an area that can accommodate this size, keeping it away from structures or power lines that might be impacted by its eventual spread.
Yes, it is well-suited for containers, though its slow growth rate means it will take time to reach its full size. Ensure your container has excellent drainage and is large enough to support the root system as the tree matures.
This is a waterwise, drought-tolerant tree once it has settled into your landscape. While it needs regular moisture during its first year, it will require very little supplemental irrigation thereafter, especially in hot, dry climates.
It is a low-maintenance choice that requires minimal pruning. Its natural, upright, and open crown shape is quite refined on its own, so you only need to prune it occasionally to remove dead wood or to shape it to your preference.
The Majestic Beauty is rated for Hardiness Zone 8. If you live in an area that experiences temperatures consistently below this range, the tree may struggle to survive the winter.
