Overview
African Olive Tree Seeds Olea europaea subsp. africana 10 pcs Tree with a Dense Crown and Grey-Green Narrow Leaves For Pot and Greenhouse

Olea europaea subsp. africana, the African olive tree, is a wild-growing subspecies of the well-known olive tree. The tree forms a dense rounded crown composed of narrow grey-green leaves, as clearly visible in the image of an adult specimen. The fruits are small olives that are edible but have a bitter taste, and therefore are rarely consumed fresh, being primarily sought after by birds. The pack contains 10 seeds, from which you can grow several trees from scratch. In our conditions, the African olive tree is most commonly grown in a pot, which can be placed outside in summer and moved to a greenhouse or a bright hallway in winter.

Key Features:

  • Dense rounded crown — the tree creates a compact, densely foliated crown that looks neat even without significant shaping and is the main ornament of the wood.
  • Grey-green narrow leaves — small leathery leaves with a silvery tint are typical of olive trees and give the tree an unmistakable appearance throughout the year.
  • Small edible fruits — the small olives have a bitter taste, so they are rarely consumed fresh and serve more as food for birds than for regular culinary use.
  • Resilient subspecies — the wild form of the olive tree is known for its undemanding nature and adaptability, making it suitable for less experienced growers of exotic trees.
  • Year-round green appearance — the tree retains its foliage throughout the year, remaining decorative even in the winter months when it rests in a bright, cooler room.
  • Potted cultivation — the sapling is grown in a pot, which can be placed outside on a terrace or balcony in summer and moved to a bright, unheated room in winter.
  • Pack of 10 seeds — the pack provides a sufficient supply for growing multiple trees at once or for repeated sowing, or for sharing with other growers.
  • Growing from seeds — you have full control over the entire development of the tree from germination to young sapling and can adapt it to your conditions and experience.
  • Long-lived tree — olive trees are known for their longevity, allowing you to enjoy the grown sapling for many years and gradually shape it.

Contents of the pack:

  • 1x pack of Olea europaea subsp. africana seeds (10 pcs)

African olive tree seeds are an interesting choice for growers who want to expand their collection with a lesser-known subspecies of the famous Mediterranean tree. The dense rounded crown and grey-green leaves make this wood a decorative plant that will adorn terraces, balconies, and conservatories. The pack contains 10 seeds, allowing you to try growing from the very beginning and cultivate several young trees. Growing an olive tree from seed requires patience, but the reward is a plant nurtured by your own care. If you are looking for a low-maintenance ornamental tree for pots, these seeds are a good choice.
