Olea europaea (Olive)

Olea europaea, commonly known as olive, is a versatile choice for adding structure, character, and productivity to NZ landscapes.

Valued for its distinctive grey-green foliage and naturally sculptural form, olive trees bring a timeless, Mediterranean feel to garden designs. They are equally suited to feature planting, hedging, and orchard-style layouts, offering both visual appeal and edible fruit.

Well suited to warm, sunny positions, Olea europaea performs reliably in free-draining soils and is a practical option for low-maintenance planting in a range of settings.
