Live Mini Olive Tree, 20"-24"

Summary

Originally from Spain's Catalonia region, Arbequina olive trees produce fruit that's naturally sweet, mild and buttery, plus silver-green foliage that's naturally resistant to drought and pests. Grown and tended at a family farm in Florida for three years, our self-pollinating Arbequina olive tree makes a lasting alternative to cut blooms and is the perfect size for indoor enjoyment. It arrives wrapped for gift-giving in natural burlap tied with a fabric ribbon. Planted in the ground, this hardy evergreen can grow up to 25' tall and last for centuries.
