About Olive

Olive trees are drought-tolerant long-lived and thrive in poor soil — once established they need very little attention.

Plant in the most well-drained sunny spot available. Drought-tolerant once established. Can be grown in containers in cold zones — bring indoors before hard frost. Need two trees or a self-fertile variety for fruit.
