About this tree

The Arbequina Olive is the most reliable fruiting olive for home growers, producing small, flavorful olives prized for pressing into oil. It matures to a graceful 15-20 ft. tall and 12-15 ft. wide with silvery evergreen foliage, and is hardy in USDA zones 8-11. Self-fertile and drought-tolerant, it fruits at a young age and adapts well to container growing on a sunny patio. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for an elegant Mediterranean accent and homegrown olives.

Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with full sun and well drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 12 ft. - 15 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Drought tolerant once established — water deeply but infrequently, letting the soil dry between waterings.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need two olive trees for fruit?+

No. Arbequina is self-fertile, though a second tree nearby can increase yields.

Can I grow it in a pot?+

Yes. Its compact, slow-to-moderate growth makes it ideal for a large container on a sunny patio, moved indoors where winters freeze.

How much water does it need?+

Very little once established - olives are highly drought-tolerant and prefer well-drained soil that dries between waterings.

What zones is it hardy in?+

It grows outdoors in USDA zones 8 through 11.
