This elegant, evergreen tree makes an excellent specimen plant for a sunny mediterranean-style garden. Olea europaea forms a rounded head of small, silver-grey leaves and is tolerant of hot, dry conditions. Tiny fragrant creamy-white flowers are produced in summer. These are followed by small, round green fruit that ripen to black. In the mediterranean the Olive Tree is cultivated widely for the fruits.
