Del Morocco Olive 200MM

Olea europaea var europaea 'Del Morocco'

I am Del Morocco Olive. My family originated from the Mediterranean.

Habit Tree - Fruits from a young age

Plant family Oleaceae

With elegant form and producing a bountiful harvest of beautiful fruit I am a popular choice for the home garden. I am an extremely long lived and hardy tree with attractive glossy silver grey foliage. My delicate white blooms in spring are followed by fruit ready to harvest in autumn. I am well suited to hedging or as a feature tree. Adaptable I make an excellent espalier container or garden planted. I do extremely well in warmer areas and do not need frost for setting my fruit. I bear fruit when young and have high yields. My fruit has a medium oil content and is ideal for curing. Hardy I perform well in exposed locations, frost, coastal locations with salt and high winds.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

Fruiting prolifically from a young age and ripening mid-summer, my fruit is perfect for curing and for oil

Long lived and hardy I consistently fruit well even with warmer winters

I am an excellent choice for screening hedges and windbreaks particularly in exposed locations
