Product Description
The Mission Olive (Olea europaea 'Mission') is a hardy, evergreen tree renowned for its attractive silvery-green foliage, ornamental appeal, and delicious edible fruit. Originating from one of the oldest cultivated olive varieties, this versatile tree is highly valued for producing olives suitable for both table use and premium-quality olive oil.
Its naturally rounded canopy, distinctive grey-green leaves, and gnarled trunk with age make it a striking feature in any landscape. In spring, the tree produces clusters of small, fragrant creamy-white flowers that develop into green olives, maturing to deep purple or black as they ripen. The Mission Olive is drought tolerant once established and thrives in warm, sunny conditions, making it an excellent choice for South African gardens.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use while young in containers placed in a bright, sunny position. Mature plants perform best outdoors.
