RE: olive tree


How dwarf is it? Does it fruit? Full size olive trees are incredibly messy
when the olives drop; if your dwarf does fruit make sure it's in a spot you
won't mind black stains on the ground. Of course if it's small enough you
can probably manage to keep the fruit under control.

Well I lost my mind again and will soon be receiving a dwarf olive tree to
plant (for peace).  Catalog said they're hardy in zone 8.  I just love
Mediterranean plants.  Anyone else out there growing olives?  I had to get
something new to celebrate paying off the house this week and this just
seemed appropriate.  Everyone who comes into my back yard always comments on
how peaceful and serene it is.
