Read detailed description :

An upright growing Olive tree, more compact and enduring of the cold than the common Olive. Tolerates less sun also. Evergreen leaves of a grey-green colour and a silvery underside. The oval leaves are 4-8cm long. The white flowers are not particularly ornamental but are delicately perfumed. Green olives will appear, turning black when mature in autumn.
