Grow Your Own Olive Tree: The Versatile Arbequina Olive

The Arbequina Olive is not just a beautiful tree; it’s also a practical choice for homeowners looking to grow their own olives! This hardy variety of olive tree thrives in Florida’s warm climate, offering both ornamental value and the potential for homegrown, fresh olive oil. At Flowing Well Tree Farm, we offer premium Arbequina Olives that will bring a touch of Mediterranean flair to your landscape while producing delicious olives.

Why Choose Arbequina Olive?

1. Compact Size & Beautiful Form
   Arbequina Olives are known for their compact size, typically reaching 15 to 20 feet tall, making them perfect for smaller landscapes or even container gardening. The tree’s silvery-green, evergreen leaves provide year-round beauty, with a natural, sculpted shape that adds elegance to any space. Their delicate, fragrant white flowers bloom in spring, followed by clusters of small olives that ripen from green to a rich purple-brown.

2. Delicious, Homegrown Olives
   Arbequina is prized for its high-quality olives, which are perfect for both eating and pressing into olive oil. These olives are known for their mild, buttery flavor, making them a favorite among home growers and chefs alike. Arbequina Olive trees produce abundant fruit even in warmer climates, giving you the chance to harvest your own fresh olives right from your backyard.

3. Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance
   Olive trees, including the Arbequina, are incredibly drought-tolerant once established, requiring little water beyond the first year. They thrive in well-drained soils and can handle a variety of conditions, including sandy or rocky soils, making them a great option for Florida landscapes. Arbequina Olives are also highly pest-resistant and require minimal pruning, which makes them easy to care for.

4. Cold Hardy & Heat Tolerant
   Unlike many other olive varieties, Arbequina is relatively cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures down to around 20°F. This makes it one of the most reliable olive trees for Florida’s fluctuating temperatures, and its heat tolerance ensures it will thrive even in the hottest months. Whether you're inland or closer to the coast, this tree will grow strong and healthy.

5. Versatility in Landscaping
   With its compact size and attractive foliage, Arbequina Olive works well in a variety of landscape designs. It can be grown as a focal point in your garden, along driveways, or even in rows to create a Mediterranean-inspired hedge or grove. Its ornamental value, combined with its fruit production, makes it an excellent choice for both aesthetic and functional purposes.
