Description

Olives are drought-tolerant evergreen trees with silver foliage that require a warm, sunny and sheltered position. Whether you grow them in the ground or in a large container, they will add a Mediterranean charm and may sometimes in hot summers, reward you with a heavy crop of fruit that need special preparation to make them edible.
