Arbequina Olive Tree - Beautiful Live Plant - 6 Inch Pot - Grow Your Own Olives Indoors - Olea Europaea

Arbequina olives are well-known for their flavor, containing a high concentration of healthy, antioxidant-rich oils. You can harvest up to 20 pounds of olives annually to use in salads and incorporate into your preferred recipes. They are rarely affected by pests and can be cultivated organically in many locations. Arbequina trees can be kept indoors throughout the year. These trees are semi-deciduous, shedding leaves only in severe cold and enduring temperatures near 20 degrees Fahrenheit. When kept indoors, they maintain their leaves all winter. They are self-fertile, so a single tree is sufficient to bear fruit, although more trees can enhance the yield. This variety is appreciated both as a table olive for its gentle, buttery, and subtly fruity taste, and as an oil olive for its high oil content. The delicious fruit and appealing gray-green leaves bring to mind the Spanish countryside where this variety is extensively grown. Olives remain well on the tree and mature at different times. These trees are tolerant of drought, resistant to pests, and withstand heat well. Fruit ripening starts in November. This self-pollinating olive is valued for its dark brown fruit with highly fragrant oil content and attractive, silvery green leaves. Highly versatile, it yields abundantly in hot, arid climates and has demonstrated greater resilience than other varieties, tolerating temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit. It serves as a lovely specimen shrub or small tree
