'Arbequina' Olive

‘Arbequina’ olives are attractive, hardy, evergreen trees that are popular for landscape and fruit production.  Its narrow leaves are shiny, silvery-green, providing a nice color contrast in the landscape.  Nondescript white blooms give way to small green fruit that turn from pink to shiny blackish-brown when they’ve ripened.  Self-fruiting, ‘Arbequina’ olives are prized for abundant fruit that is aromatic and has a high oil content.   These trees can withstand hot, dry conditions but also have greater cold hardiness than other olives.  Excellent for use in the landscape as a specimen shrub or small tree.  Grown at Creekside Nursery in 5 and 15 gallon containers.
