Olive Californian Queen Olea europaea Fruiting Plants

Olea UC13A6

Nice sized fruit at approx 10g.

All olive fruit will need to be appropriately processed after harvesting to make it palatable and edible. You will find many ideas on how to do this if you search the internet.

Very long living. The world oldest olive tree is around 2000-3000 years old.

Will usually live for centuries with minimal care.

Also great source of natural oils and wood.

Attractive blue/grey/green foliage with silver undersides.

Good frost resistance (minus 11C).

Will grow in coastal areas.

Tolerates long periods of dry.

Grow in full sun to semi shade.

Cream/white flowers in Spring that develop green fruit which ripens red to black in Summer through to Autumn.

This plant also has medicinal, herbal and beauty therapeutic qualities (please confirm uses with qualified practitioners before using).

The trunks start off a smooth grey when young and can become quite gnarled and twisted with age.

Often found in bonsai and topiary forms.

Great also for hardy pots and container plantings.

Can also be trained as flat espaliers against walls, fences etc for small areas.

Originally from Mediterranean areas, olives can grow in rocky and impoverished soil and can adapt to a wide soil range as they are hardy and resilient; yet the best soil is rich, fertile, well drained.

Use General Purpose fertiliser in Autumn and Spring as per instructions.

They do not like badly drained soil. If your area is waterlogged you will need to raise the soil level by around 50cm with topsoil and plant them into that.
