Olive Arbequina 3 Gal

Key Features & Growing Details

• Size: Grows 15 to 20 feet tall in the ground, but easily stays compact (4 to 6 feet) when grown in containers or pruned. 
• Hardiness: Thrives outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 10 (tolerating lows down to about 12°F to 20°F depending on establishment); can be grown in pots and moved indoors during freezing winters in colder zones. 
• Fruit & Harvest: Produces small, brownish-purple olives typically harvested between July and November. Raw olives are bitter and require curing or pressing into oil. 
• Pollination: Self-fertile, meaning a single tree will bear fruit, though cross-pollination with another variety like Koroneiki can increase yields. 
Care Requirements: Needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily and fast-draining, sandy, or loamy soil; water deeply but infrequently, as olives dislike soggy roots.
