Find Your Growing Zone!

Large clusters, flavorful fruit, Arbosana Olive Tree (Olea europaea 'Arbosana') grows large clusters of delightfully, petite olives. Deliciously fragrant, you'll cherish the intense flavor that aficionados say has delicious hints of tomato and almond!

Nothing beats fresh from the garden! Growing an Arbosana will provide you and your family with healthful olives straight from your own yard. It ripens a few weeks later than Arbequina, so if you want to extend your season, add an Arbosana!

People often begin harvesting Olives for oil after only two years when planting this variety. Fabulous used for fresh eating, brined or milled into a robustly flavorful olive oil, the Arbosona Olive originally comes from Spain. Today, Arbosana is one of the top cultivars used in Olive oil production in California.
