Product Description
Fruit black at maturation in late November, but does not mature all at once. Small fruit has rounded top. Good resistance to frosts and highly adaptable to diverse climates and soils. Can be grown anywhere if kept indoors. Produces a good, soft Spanish oil. Olive trees are biennial -- meaning that they produce fruit every other year. Even if a pollenizer is not required, it will help increase yields so we sell our olive trees in pairs. Evergreen, long-lived (500+ years), beautiful ornamental tree with soft gray-green foliage. Slow growing tree. Great for containers. Drought resistant, grow in shallow, alkaline soils with little fertilization. Avoid overwatering and provide good drainage. Thrive in hot, dry summers but adequate in coastal regions. Minimum winter temperatures shouldn't drop below 22°-25°F (green fruit will be damaged at 32°F), but average winter temperatures above 50°F will inhibit fruiting. Plant in early spring to establish before winter. In areas outside the southeast, trees will ship bareroot. Why purchase your tree from The Gourmet Gardener? We are a different kind of gardening company in three ways. First, we pre-select the best tasting, most vigorous varieties for you. This takes the guess work of plant selection for you. Second, after you order, we will send you an email actual pictures of plants for you to choose from. (If we don't hear back from you, we'll send you the plants we like the most.) We want you to be happy with the tree you receive. Selecting your actual plants online gives you the same opportunity to choose that you would have in a local garden center. Finally, when you shop with The Gourmet Gardener, you become part of our gardening family. We welcome questions (email preferably) about this purchase and ALL of the plants you grow. Our goal: to provide our customers with positive gardening experiences and delicious harvests. Ships bareroot to areas outside the Southeast |
