Unit price perOlive tree - current height 100-120 cm
Common name: Olive tree
Scientific name: Olea europaea
Family: Oleaceae
History & use
The olive tree has been cultivated for over 5000 years and is one of the world's most used useful and cultural plants. It is primarily the unripe, green or black, ripe olives that are harvested for pickling or pressing into oil. Untreated olives are very bitter but can be eaten after soaking or fermenting. The tree is grown in pots, greenhouses, or outdoors in the most favorable locations in Sweden with winter protection. The olive tree is both beautiful and productive. The leaves are gray-green and leathery, and the tree can yield harvests even in pots under the right conditions.
Olive trees are also used for erosion control in exposed areas.
Cultivation
These specimens with thicker trunks have especially good wood maturity, and the supplier states that they withstand temperatures down to –18 °C for short periods, especially in sheltered locations with well-drained soil.
Thrives in full sun, preferably in well-drained, lime-rich soil. Plant in a large pot or directly in the ground in the mildest parts of the country. During winter, the tree is advantageously protected with fleece, jute fabric, or bubble wrap around the pot and/or trunk – especially in exposed locations or when there is a risk of prolonged cold. Water regularly during the growing season but tolerates some drought.
Characteristics

Growing position: Sun
Height: 5–12 meters
Hardiness zone: 1–2 in sheltered locations, hardy down to –18 °C for short periods
