Olea europaea ‘Arbequina’ “Black Olive”
This self-fertile olive from northern Spain is used for both its oil and as a table olive. Olives are easy-to-grow, rugged plants that tolerate dryness both in soil moisture and humidity and a wide variation in temperature from just below freezing to the triple digits. To successfully flower plants, they need lots of sun and a period of 30-45°F at night on a consistent basis during the winter. ‘Arbequina’ is a great olive for pots as it flowers at an early age, often when no more than a foot in height, and produces an abundance of small, dark tasty olives.

Hardy to Zone 8 and higher for outdoors.

Full sun, grows to 2-5' in container, minimum temperature indoors 35°, blooms in spring.
