Olea europaea ‘J2’ yields reliable generous amounts of medium-sized fruit during the autumn season. As a compact oliver tree, it features a slender growth habit, making it ideal for small gardens. The fruit is suitable for preserving and eating fresh, maturing to a dark purple colour when ripe. Tolerant of drought, moderate frost, and cooler climates, it is useful for screening but will need some protection from the wind when younger. Olea europaea is native to the Mediterranean through Africa to China.
