Verdale Olive Tree - Olea europaea Verdale

Olea europaea Verdale is one of the most silver toned olives available, selected for both ornamental value and reliable fruiting. It features dense foliage with strong silver highlights that create a striking Mediterranean effect in gardens and large landscapes. Verdale produces table olives with a large pip and good flavour once processed. It thrives in full sun, handles heat, drought and coastal exposure, and adapts well to hedging, espaliers, feature planting and orchard style groupings.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained soils. Adaptable to loam, sand and gravel mixes.
• Light: Requires full sun for best flowering and fruiting.
• Watering: Low water needs once established. Moderate watering during establishment.
• Fertiliser: Apply slow release fertiliser annually to maintain vigour.
• Maintenance: Prune to maintain structure. Ideal for hedging, espaliers and standards.
• Flowering: Spring flowers, fruit requires processing before eating.

To keep the foliage bright and silvery, plant in full sun and avoid over watering, which can reduce the silver leaf effect.
