Olive 'Arbequina' Tree
Capture the exotic beauty and flavor of the Mediterranean with the easy-to-grow Olive 'Arbequina' Tree. This self-pollinating variety offers year-round evergreen interest, featuring attractive grayish-green leaves and fragrant cream-colored blooms in spring. Following the flowers, it produces succulent olives in summer that ripen from green to glossy purple-black, suitable for harvesting or leaving for birds. Known for its hardiness down to 22°F, it thrives in hot, dry summers but can be grown in containers in colder regions. The tree develops an elegant, weeping silhouette with a gnarled trunk over time, making it a stunning ornamental or culinary specimen.
