Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Spanish olive, producing small, brownish black olives valued for their oil, but only with a friend nearby. Sun, well-drained soil and occasional summer water in hot dry places for best fruiting. Quite drought tolerant once well established. For increased hardiness to cold, best to withhold water in the late season for hardening off new growth. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.
