🫒 The Petite Powerhouse: Arbequina Olive Tree! 🫒

Ivy Paradise brings the timeless tradition of olive cultivation to your doorstep with the Arbequina Olive Tree! Hailing from Spain, this celebrated variety is renowned for its exceptional adaptability, compact size, and the premium, buttery olive oil its fruits produce. Whether you dream of pressing your own oil or curing table olives, this self-fertile tree is the perfect, manageable choice for home growers and small spaces. 🌿✨

This evergreen tree is a darling of the olive world for good reason. It boasts a graceful, willowy structure with slender, silvery-green leaves that add a touch of Mediterranean elegance to any setting. Despite its modest size, it is a remarkably prolific producer, bearing heavy clusters of small, brownish-purple olives that are prized for their high oil content and mild, fruity flavor with low bitterness. Its natural dwarfing habit makes it exceptionally well-suited for containers, patios, and small gardens.

✨ Why Grow an Arbequina Olive Tree? ✨

• 🫒 Premium Oil & Table Olives: The main event! Produce your own high-quality, buttery-smooth olive oil or cure the fruits for delicious, mild table olives right at home.

• 🌳 Compact & Container-Friendly: Its naturally small size and slow growth make it the ideal olive tree for pots, terraces, balconies, and urban gardens where space is limited.

• 🤝 Self-Fertile Wonder: Doesn’t require a second pollinator tree to produce a harvest. One tree is all you need for a bountiful crop of olives.

• 💪 Resilient & Hardy: Once established, it is drought-tolerant, wind-resistant, and can handle a range of soil conditions, though it loves good drainage.

• 🌿 Ornamental Beauty: The silvery foliage and gnarled trunk (as it ages) provide year-round visual interest and a classic, rustic charm.

Caring for Your Arbequina Olive Tree:

• ☀️ Light: Demands Full Sun (8+ hours daily) for healthy growth and maximum fruit production.

• 💧 Water: Water regularly to establish. Mature trees are very drought-tolerant. Allow soil to dry between waterings.

• 🌱 Soil: EXCELLENT DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL. Thrives in poor, rocky, sandy, or alkaline soil. Never let it sit in waterlogged soil.

• ✂️ Pruning: Requires light annual pruning after harvest to maintain shape and encourage fruiting wood.

• 🌡️ Climate: Best in Mediterranean climates (hot, dry summers; cool winters). It needs some winter chill to fruit but must be protected from severe frost.

Pro Tip: For oil production, harvest olives when they turn from green to purple-black. For green table olives, harvest while still firm and green.
