Olea europaea 'Verdale' (Olive)
Verdale is one of the olives with the silveriest leaf, therefore it is chosen for both its decorative and fruitful qualities. Although the fruit has a huge pip, it makes a superb table olive. All gathered fruit must be processed before consumption. It has gorgeous, dense silvery foliage and grows between 2 and 10 metres tall. As a feature specimen avenue or hedge, a highly hardy tree that thrives in Mediterranean climates looks fantastic. It can also be trained to develop into a standard or espalier. Olives are often quite hardy and low care; nevertheless, they flourish best in soil that drains well and receives enough water and fertiliser during the growth season. You can prune this cultivar to get the form you want.
