Manzanillo Olive (Espalier) - Olea europaea ‘Manzanillo’
Trained flat on a frame, an olive becomes a living wall rather than a tree. ‘Manzanillo’ is a Spanish table olive cultivar with a naturally spreading, willing habit that lends itself to espalier work, and this plant has already been tied and trained into a flat plane over several seasons. In a landscape it solves a specific problem: privacy or greening in a bed only 300 to 400mm deep, using a plant that tolerates heat, drought, reflected light off masonry and the alkaline soils common around new construction.
Why the Manzanillo Espalier
Flat Profile: The trained plane occupies almost no bed depth, so it works where a normal screening plant will not fit.
Foliage Movement: Grey green above and silver beneath, the leaves flicker constantly in the slightest breeze against a wall.
Fruit: Manzanillo is a large fruited table olive, though the fruit needs curing before it is edible.
Climate Hardiness: Handles heat, drought, wind, salt and alkaline soil, all of which are common on exposed built up sites.
Training Requirement: The form is maintained, not permanent, so expect to tie in and trim two or three times a year.
Siting note: In some districts olive seedlings spread from dropped fruit, so collect windfall in gardens next to bushland.
Ideal Applications
Hot Wall Greening: On a north or west facing masonry wall where the reflected heat suits it and little else thrives.
Narrow Bed Privacy: Screens a boundary or a neighbouring window from a bed too shallow for a hedge.
Pool Fence Planting: A flat green plane along a pool fence line, adding softness without eating into the paved area.
Mediterranean Courtyard: Reads correctly with rendered walls, gravel, rosemary, lavender and terracotta.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 2.5m along the frame so the trained arms meet to form a continuous plane.
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3m where each espalier is to be read as a separate panel.
Best Planting Season: Spring and autumn.
Soil & Drainage: Free draining, tolerant of poor and alkaline soils. Waterlogged ground is the one condition olives will not survive.
Establishment Care: Water weekly through the first two summers, then only in prolonged dry spells. Tie new shoots to the frame while they are still green and flexible, prune out anything growing forward or backward off the plane, and note that dropped fruit stains paving, so sweep beneath it or strip the crop early.
