Olive Trees

We were so excited when we found out it was possible to grow olive trees here in the South. These massive, long-lived trees require two things to be happy: temperatures above 10 degrees F in the winter and 300 hours of chill to bear fruit. The trees are gorgeous, willowy evergreens with a misty grey color. They are fast growers and will bear in 3 to 4 years. The fruit is picked green and pickled for green salad olives or allowed to ripen to black for crushing into olive oil, or making salted black olives. Push the panic button below and you'll find directions for processing your crop.


Olive Varieties (Olea europea)


Arbequina Olive

ARBEQUINA Great things come in small packages. A tiny Spanish olive of medium brown. Brine cured for eating and pressed for making excellent olive oil. Self-fertile. Zones 8B-9. $49.99 3 gal (3-5ft).








Just the Facts

Not sure what to do with olives or how to grow them right? DON'T PANIC! Push the panic button and we will give you "Just the Facts" you need to successfully grow them.




Olives in the Landscape and Garden

A beautiful evergreen that's easy to grow and which can be adapted to many gardens. What's not to love? Grow your olives to full-sized shade trees as a part of your landscape plan. Want an espalier? It's easy with olives. Have a big container? They'll look great, but be careful to repot or prune every year or so.
