Arbosana Olive Trees For Sale
Small to medium, picturesque, evergreen tree to 12-15 ft with 2″ bright green, silver dusted leaves & small to medium, purple-brown, late season fruit. Best in sun in lean, well-drained soil with little summer water once established.
If planted outside, choose a location that receives full sunlight to partial shade and good soil drainage. The preference is for at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight per day. They are self-pollinating and will yield fruit with just one, but planting a second will boost their yield. If you choose to plant more than one, make sure they are 8-12 feet apart from each other, measuring from their trunks.
How to Plant Arbosana Olive Trees
Dig a hole that is roughly twice the width of the root ball. Backfill the hole with soil, then water gently to settle the roots.
All water should be withheld in late summer to allow plants to harden off, increasing hardiness. Good in container or in the garden. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8; zone 7 if well hardened.
If you choose to plant your Arbequina olive tree in a container, choose a pot that has drainage holes for watering and that is 1.5-2 times the width of the container your tree arrived in.
