  • Botanical Name: Olea europaea
  • Common Names: Olive Tree, European Olive
  • Description: Olea europaea is a small evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, renowned for its silvery-green foliage, gnarled trunk, and edible fruit—the olive. This hardy and drought-tolerant tree is a symbol of peace and prosperity. It thrives both as an outdoor tree in warmer climates and as a container plant indoors or on patios.
  • Watering Needs: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Olive trees are drought-tolerant once established but appreciate consistent moisture during their growing season.
  • Preferred Humidity: Tolerates low humidity and thrives in dry, Mediterranean-like conditions.
  • Sun Exposure: Requires full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Toxicity: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
  • Mature Size: Grows 10-25 feet tall and wide outdoors, depending on the variety. When grown in containers, it typically reaches 4-6 feet tall.
  • Plant Type: Evergreen Tree
  • Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 8-11 outdoors. In cooler climates, it can be grown indoors or in containers that can be brought indoors during the winter.
