All You Need to Know About Olive Trees

What is the lowest temperature an Olive Tree can withstand?

Olive Trees can withstand low temperatures for short periods of time, but should be brought inside when the temperature drops consistently below 30 degrees.

Where do Olive Trees grow best?

Olive Trees grow best in outdoor locations that receive ample sun, or in indoors spaces that receive bright, direct sunlight.

What is the difference between an olive tree and a black olive tree?

The key differences between an olive tree and a black olive tree are:

  1. Size and Appearance: Olive trees can grow up to 40 feet in height and have small, gray-green leaves with gnarled trunks. In contrast, black olive trees, also known as Shady Lady or Bucida Buceras, are smaller (about 20 feet tall and wide), with more rounded, glossy, dark green leaves.

  2. Growing Conditions: Olive trees prefer full sun and are drought-tolerant. Black olive trees, however, are more shade-tolerant and are often used indoors.

  3. Fruit: Olive trees produce olives, used in cooking and cosmetics. Black olive trees produce small, inedible black berries, serving only ornamental purposes.

How big do Olive Trees get?

The sky's the limit! Olive Trees can grow up to ten feet tall indoors, and as tall as thirty feet outdoors. Ample sun is required for healthy growth.
