Common Olive Tree (Olea europaea)
DESCRIPTION
- Botanical Name: Olea europaea
-
Common Name(s): Common Olive Tree
- Description: Common Olive is bathed in stunning panicles of fragrant white flowers along the branches from late spring to early summer. The fruits are showy black drupes carried in abundance from mid-summer to early fall. The fruit can be messy if allowed to drop on the lawn or walkways and may require occasional clean-up. It has dark green evergreen foliage which emerges light green in spring. The glossy narrow leaves remain dark green throughout the winter. The smooth gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape. This plant is primarily grown as an ornamental, but it's also valued for its edible qualities.
PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE
Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
