Olea europea

£153.95

Olive: A native of Mediterranean countries, the Olive forms a large evergreen shrub or small tree, with leathery grey-green leaves.   Fragrant small white flowers are produced in late summer, although fruit is not usually produced unless the conditions are favourable.   It is tolerant of drought and forms a magnificent trunk as it ages.   Due to their longevity they help clean the air, and also help with carbon sequestration.   Plant in all types of moist, well drained soils, in full sun.   Hardiness rating H4.
