(Olea europaea ‘Mission’) Zones: 8-11 Height/Spread: 25 to 30 feet tall and wide Named for the San Diego mission where it was first introduced, this popular shade tree and specimen plant, featuring a broad canopy of silvery foliage and a sculptural multi-trunk form. The fruit can be harvested when green or black and is popular for use in cold-press...
(O. europaea ‘Manzanillo’) Zones: 8-10 Height/Spread: 25 to 30 feet tall and wide Like the Mission olive, this tall shade tree is common in California landscapes with its distinctive twisted trunk. The large, fleshy olives are the most common green table olives in the U.S. For smaller gardens, try ‘Haas Improved Manzanillo’, with arching branches o...
(O. europaea ‘Monher’) Zones: 8-11 Height/Spread: 25 to 30 feet tall, up to 25 feet wide A great patio plant or garden tree that does not produce messy fruit. Can also be planted near walkways, driveways, entryways and other high-traffic areas without concern for oily stains. Small, narrow, gray-green leaves give it an airy appearance.
(O. europaea ‘Swan Hill’) Zones: 8-11 Height/Spread: 25 to 30 feet tall and wide Another fruitless variety that flowers in spring, like a fruiting olive, but releases almost no pollen. Since the tree doesn’t put energy into making fruit, it produces a dense canopy of foliage and grows faster than most fruiting olive trees.
(O. europaea ‘Montra’) Zones: 8-11 Height/Spread: 6 to 8 feet tall and wide Prized for its dense foliage and mounded shrub-like shape, this dwarf non-fruiting hybrid can be clipped and sheared to create formal hedges or topiaries or trained as a single-trunk specimen for planting in containers or along walkways. Exceptionally heat, drought, and sal...
(O. europaea ‘Arbequina’) Zones: 7-11 Height/Spread: 15 to 20 feet tall, 8 to 12 feet wide A beautiful Spanish variety from Catalonia, with a weeping form and compact habit. The fruits are small but fleshy and have a mild, fruity flavor and high oil content. One of the most cold-tolerant varieties.
(O. europaea ‘Arbosana’) Zones: 8-10 Height/Spread: 12 to 15 feet tall, 12 to 20 feet wide Because of its small size and high yields, this semi-dwarf cultivar from Spain is a favorite among growers who want to reap large olive crops in limited garden space. One of the earliest to bear fruit, often a year or two after planting.
(O. europaea ‘Frantoio’) Zones: 8-11 Height/Spread: Up to 20 feet tall and wide This elegant tree from Tuscany has been around for centuries and produces one of the most highly acclaimed olive oils in the world, characterized by its wonderfully fruity flavor and aroma. It’s also a beautiful landscape plant, featuring a broad, airy canopy of strikin...
