Adding a wonderful Mediterranean aesthetic to your landscaping, these fine-textured trees and soft leathery leaves suit even the smallest properties! These trees reach a height up to 15 feet tall, they’re space-saving fruit trees!
The Frantoio Olive is equally adored for its appearance! It has a full, broad crown and its branches dance with gray-green, narrow, leathery leaves that can often have a silvery appearance in the sun.
The most unique characteristic of this tree is its slow-growing nature, creating a gnarled, twisted trunk. Over time, this tree adds character to your landscape!
This tree is perfect for an area with a bit of open space to reach its full potential. Plant a row of these along each side of your driveway to give your home a Mediterranean estate look. Or plant a couple along the back of your property and harvest the high-quality Olives each fall.
This handsome tree adds character to the landscape all year round because of the wonderful broadleaf evergreen leaves.
#ProPlantTips For Care
The Frantoio Olive grows best in low-moisture, well-drained soil. And this drought-tolerant tree becomes more and more cold-resistant as it ages. It doesn't require a lot of fuss, it does well with little water and thrives in the heat.
Plant this tree in full sun. Provide an enriched site for best results, but Olive trees grow and thrive in the Mediterranean climate and also thrive in poor soils with low moisture. Hardy in growing zones 7 through 10, Frantoio is more tolerant of cooler climates than other varieties.
This hardy, yet fruitful tree will add beauty to your landscape! An old-world favorite, the Olive is a symbol of peace and friendship! So Frantoio would be a fantastic gift for a new homeowner!
This broadleaved evergreen tree will produce some of the best Olives you can find! And it will add a stately sensibility to your landscape. Why not grow your own Olive orchard by checking out our other Olive varieties! You'll adore this Frantoio Olive Tree - order today at NatureHills.com!
