About the Fruit
The Mission Olive is a true culinary treasure, renowned for producing a high-quality fruit that is both versatile and delicious. Whether you’re looking to press your own olive oil or simply enjoy them fresh, these olives offer a savory taste with a hint of fruitiness, making them a perfect ingredient for your gourmet creations. With origins tracing back to California’s historic missions, this olive variety brings a touch of heritage to your table.
What to Know About the Tree
The Mission Olive Tree is a symbol of endurance and vitality. This hardy evergreen is not only drought-resistant but also adaptable to various soil types, making it an excellent choice for diverse climates. With its silvery foliage and graceful, rounded canopy, it adds an elegant touch to any garden. The Mission Olive Tree can reach a mature height of 25-30 feet, but can also be pruned to maintain a smaller size for your convenience.
Harvest Season
Anticipation for the Mission Olive harvest begins in the fall, when the olives transition from a vibrant green to a deep, alluring black. This signals the perfect time to harvest these sumptuous fruits, which are typically ready to be plucked from the branches from late October through November. This season not only brings the excitement of harvest but also the satisfaction of savoring your own homegrown olives.

Fruitscaping™ with Olive Trees
Experience the Mediterranean in your own backyard with Fruitscaping™ using our Olive Trees. These storied trees have been cherished for millennia for their aesthetic appeal, culinary use, and cultural significance.
Olive trees are well-loved for their stunning silvery foliage and gnarled trunks, which add a rustic and elegant aesthetic to any landscape. Their small, fragrant blooms precede the formation of olives, which can be harvested and processed into olive oil or cured for table olives. Whether for their fruit or simply for their ornamental appeal, olive trees offer unique beauty and versatility.
Olive trees thrive in well-draining soil and full sun, emulating their Mediterranean origins. They are notably drought-tolerant, making them excellent choices for xeriscaping or for regions with less frequent rainfall. Their size can be managed with pruning, allowing them to fit into various garden designs.
When planning your Fruitscaping™ design, consider pairing olive trees with grapevines or fig trees for a truly Mediterranean feel. Their grey-green leaves contrast beautifully with the darker greens of other plants, adding a touch of serenity to your garden.
Discover the joy of Fruitscaping™ with Olive Trees and enjoy the fruits of your labor. From the planting and care to the satisfaction of your own olive harvest, embrace this enriching gardening journey. Embark on a horticultural adventure right in your backyard with our Olive Trees.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
