National Plant Network 3 gal. Olive Tree

The Arbequina Olive Tree is an independent variety known for its self-pollination ability. Arbequina produces black olives between two to four years after planting. The fruit is often described as small, meaty, and rich in flavor. Their high concentration of oil makes them ideal for producing olive oil, but they are just as tasty in salads or as a snack. Plant in full sun to partial shade and water regularly. Once established, water between once per week and 10 days. They are adaptable to most soil, however their ideal soil is alkaline and well-draining.
