Olea europaea
The European Olive is a classic, evergreen tree known for its silvery gray-green foliage, gnarled trunk, and timeless Mediterranean character. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it offers excellent drought and heat tolerance once established. Valued for both its ornamental appeal and edible olives, this slow-growing tree is ideal for accent plantings, courtyards, container use, and landscapes seeking a refined, old-world aesthetic with low water requirements.
