I am a lovely small growing olive to 2.5m.
My delicious fruit is equally well suited pickled for table or pressed for its oil.
My grey-green foliage is a magnificent backdrop to small white flowers which are followed by masses of fruit in spring and summer, a 'Golden Harvest'.
My smaller form suits me well to container gardening and screening
I am a great choice for an ornamental screening hedge with the bonus of a bountiful harvest.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
Fruiting prolifically from a young age and ripening mid-summer, my fruit is perfect for curing and for oil
I am an excellent choice for screening hedges and windbreaks particularly in exposed locations
I am an excellent choice for a large pot or planter
