Mission Olive - Olea europaea ‘Mission’
Mission is one of the long established Californian olive varieties and is grown here as a dual purpose tree, producing fruit suitable for both curing and oil. What sets it apart in the landscape is habit: Olea europaea ‘Mission’ grows notably upright and vigorous compared with the spreading olive varieties, which makes it the practical choice for hedging, rows and avenues where a broad open crown would be in the way. It also carries a reputation as one of the more cold tolerant olives, extending its use into frostier inland districts.
Why Mission Olive
Upright Habit: Vertical growth keeps the tree narrow, which suits clipped hedges and close planted rows.
Cold Tolerance: It handles frost better than many olive varieties, widening the districts where it can be grown.
Dual Purpose Fruit: The crop can be cured for table use or pressed for oil, so the tree suits either intention.
Dense Silver Foliage: Tight upright branching produces a solid grey green screen rather than an open canopy.
Longevity: Olives are among the longest lived garden trees, and this variety is well proven over generations.
Siting note: In some districts olive seedlings spread from dropped fruit, so collect windfall in gardens next to bushland.
Ideal Applications
Clipped Olive Hedge: The upright form takes shearing into a formal silver hedge better than spreading varieties.
Driveway Avenues: Narrow crowns allow closer spacing and a stronger rhythm along a drive.
Productive Landscaping: A row along a boundary gives screening and an annual crop from the same trees.
Frost Prone Inland Gardens: Useful where winter cold rules out more tender olive selections.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 6m
Best Planting Season: Spring or autumn, once frost risk has passed for young plants
Soil & Drainage: Free draining soil, tolerant of poor, rocky and alkaline ground; heavy waterlogged clay must be mounded or avoided
Establishment Care: Water deeply once a week through the first summer and taper to monthly by the second year so the tree learns to root deeply. Keep a weed free, lightly mulched circle around the base and delay any hedge shearing until the plants have made a full season of growth.
