Shade - Olives - Mission

Best all-around olive. Great for oil or curing.

The Mission olive is the classic California variety and one of the most versatile olives you can grow at home. It produces flavorful fruit perfect for curing into table olives or pressing for olive oil.

This tree is both productive and ornamental, with beautiful gray-green foliage that adds a Mediterranean feel to the landscape. Mission olives are also more cold-hardy than many other varieties, making them a reliable choice for home gardeners.

While self-fruitful, planting another olive tree nearby can increase pollination and boost your harvest.

Projected Harvest: September
Chill Hours: Less than 300 hours
Pollination: Self-fruitful (higher yields with another olive nearby)
