Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Arbequina Olive Tree, Olea europaea 'Arbequina'
The Arbequina is one of the most refined olives in the world, prized for its aromatic, high-yield fruit and exceptional ornamental presence. As advanced stock, it arrives with established structure and character, delivering immediate visual and productive value to any landscape.
Why Arbequina Olive
Productive & Self-Sufficient: Self-pollinating and reliably high-yielding; no companion tree required, though pairing increases harvest volume.
Drought & Heat Resilience: Exceptionally tolerant of hot, dry conditions once established; suited to Australia's most demanding climates.
Compact Form with Character: A naturally contained canopy that holds its shape with minimal intervention, well-suited to structured or contemporary landscapes.
Evergreen Presence: Retains its silver-green foliage year-round, providing consistent visual weight across all seasons.
Dual-Purpose Value: Ornamentally distinguished and genuinely productive; fruit is prized for both table use and cold-press oil.
Ideal Applications
Formal Courtyard Feature: Specimen planting in high-visibility outdoor spaces where refined, evergreen structure is required.
Mediterranean & Coastal Landscapes: Thrives in warm, exposed sites with salt-laden air and free-draining soils.
Productive Orchard Rows: Suited to boutique estate or hotel grounds requiring both aesthetic and harvest value.
Container Planting: Performs exceptionally in large-format containers for rooftop terraces, pool surrounds, and paved courtyards.
Specimen & Installation
