Description

The Mission olive is a classic California variety, renowned for its versatility in the home garden. Often considered a true “edible ornamental,” the Mission olive serves dual purposes: it can be used for curing olives or for producing high-quality olive oil. Its small, dark fruit has a rich, full flavor, making it a favorite for both culinary uses and decorative landscaping.

Mission olive trees are hardier than many other olive varieties, with a greater tolerance for colder climates, allowing them to thrive in a variety of growing conditions. While the tree is self-fruitful, meaning it can produce fruit on its own, yields are significantly higher when paired with a pollenizer, making cross-pollination an option for gardeners looking to maximize production.

This olive variety is ideal for those seeking an ornamental tree that also offers the practical benefits of fruit production. Its attractive, silvery-green foliage and compact size make it a popular choice for landscaping, while its hardy nature and reliable fruiting capabilities make it a valuable addition to any home garden.
