Swan Hill Olive Tree - Olea europaea Swan Hill (non-fruiting tree)

Olea europaea Swan Hill is a highly regarded ornamental olive variety chosen for its clean low fruiting habit and soft silver green foliage. It delivers the classic Mediterranean look without the heavy fruit drop associated with traditional fruiting varieties. Swan Hill forms a dense rounded canopy and provides strong architectural structure in gardens, courtyards and larger landscapes. It thrives in full sun, tolerates heat, drought and coastal exposure, and adapts well to pruning for hedges, espaliers, standards or avenue planting.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained sandy or loam soils. Dislikes waterlogging.
• Light: Full sun required for best foliage colour and structure.
• Watering: Low water needs once established. Moderate watering during establishment.
• Fertiliser: Apply slow release fertiliser annually for best performance.
• Maintenance: Prune once or twice per year to maintain a dense rounded shape.
• Flowering: Spring flowers, low fruiting habit keeps surrounding areas clean.

For the best ornamental shape, prune lightly after each growth flush to build a dense rounded canopy and maintain a clean architectural form.
