  • Olea Wilsonii is a great choice for Mediterranean and Southwest style landscapes, especially if you love the look of a classic olive tree but want to avoid the mess of heavy fruit drop. This variety is known for being nearly fruitless, though it may occasionally produce a small crop under ideal conditions. If you are looking for a completely non fruiting option, Swan Hill Olives® is another popular choice to consider.
  • This tree has that timeless olive look with soft gray green foliage and a naturally sculptural form that works beautifully in both formal and relaxed garden designs. It can be trained as a single trunk or allowed to develop a lower branching structure for a more natural, multi trunk appearance. Many of the trees we carry are grown with low branching, which gives them character right from the start.
  • Olea Wilsonii is highly drought tolerant once established and thrives in full sun. It prefers well drained soil but is adaptable to a range of soil types, making it a reliable and low maintenance option for many landscapes. Like most olives, it benefits from occasional deep watering and minimal summer irrigation once mature.
  • Typical sizing is as follows: 15 gallon trees are approximately 4 feet tall. 24 inch box trees are approximately 6 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. 36 inch box trees are typically 7 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. In some cases, 24 inch boxes may be substituted with 25 gallon tubs for easier handling, though the trees are the same size and age.
  • Availability and sizing can vary as new inventory comes in, so feel free to reach out if you would like more specific details on current stock.
  • Expert Tip:
  • I like using this as a structural anchor in a design, especially when you want that classic Mediterranean feel. It works really well as a focal tree, but I’ll usually keep the area around the base pretty clean so the trunk and canopy can stand out. Selective pruning when the trees are young is an absolute must to promote desired branching structure.
