Olive (Olea europaea) is an iconic, long-lived evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean basin. Renowned for its silvery green foliage, knobby sculptural trunk, and highly valuable fruit, it produces delicate white spring flowers followed by olives that ripen from green to dark purple/black in autumn. Highly prized both commercially for oil/table olives and ornamentally as a focal centerpiece in Mediterranean-style landscaping.

Care Difficulty
Light: Requires full sun (6+ hours of direct, intense sunlight daily) for healthy growth and optimal fruit production. Watering: Water regularly while young. Once established, mature trees are exceptionally drought-tolerant. Extremely sensitive to waterlogged or soggy soil. Soil: Thrives in dry, lean, gravelly, alkaline, and exceptionally well-draining soil. Tolerates poor nutrient conditions well. Temperature & Pruning: Cold-hardy generally down to -7°C to -10°C (with specific hardy cultivars surviving up to -12°C to -15°C). Prune in late winter or early spring to open up the center of the canopy for airflow and sunlight penetration.
