Olea Europaea

Olea europaea, commonly called common olive, is an evergreen tree that is native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows to 20-30' tall with a rounded crown. Young trees have smooth gray bark, but trunks and branches will gnarl somewhat picturesquely with age.

Perfect as a specimen plant in your garden or in a pot, olive trees bring a Mediterranean, exotic feel to an area with their unique bark and grey-green leaves.

Key Features:

• Flowers: Small, white-yellow flowers which are highly attractive to bees can cover the plant mid-summer if given ideal conditions. These will then grow into the olive fruit.
• Foliage: Grey-green leaves providing year-round interest
• Height & Spread: Will stay mostly the same size
• Growth Habit: Upright stem with a rounded full head on top
• Best Placement: Perfect for outside a front door in a pot, or to give structure to a garden bed
• Care Requirements: Low maintenance; thrives in full sun with well-drained soil

Bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden with Olea Europaea, providing lush evergreen foliage for year-round beauty, as well as flowering and fruit in ideal conditions
