Overview
African Olive Tree Seeds Olea europaea subsp. africana 20 pcs Tree with Dense Crown and Grey-Green Narrow Leaves For Pot or 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 round crown composed of narrow grey-green leaves, as can be seen 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 20 seeds, providing you with a sufficient supply to grow multiple trees and for repeated sowing. In our conditions, the African olive tree is most commonly grown in a pot, which can be placed outdoors in summer and moved to a greenhouse or a bright hallway in winter.

Key Features:

  • Dense round crown — the tree forms a compact, densely leafy crown that appears well-maintained even without significant shaping and is the main ornament of the plant.
  • Grey-green narrow leaves — small leathery leaves with a silvery hue are typical for olive trees and give the tree a distinctive 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 common culinary use.
  • Hardy subspecies — the wild form of the olive tree is known for its low maintenance and adaptability, making it suitable for less experienced growers of exotic trees.
  • Year-round green appearance — the tree retains its foliage all year round, remaining decorative even in the winter months when it rests in a bright, cooler room.
  • Pot cultivation — the tree is grown in a pot here, can stand outside on a terrace or balcony in summer, and is moved to a bright, unheated room in winter.
  • Pack of 20 seeds — a larger supply of seeds allows for growing multiple trees at once, repeating sowing at different times, and sharing with other growers.
  • Growing from seeds — you have control over the entire development of the plant from germination to young tree, allowing you to adapt it to your conditions and experience.
  • Long-lived tree — olive trees are known for their longevity, so you can enjoy the grown tree for many years and gradually shape it.

Contents of the package:

  • 1x pack of Olea europaea subsp. africana seeds (20 pcs)

African olive tree seeds are an interesting choice for growers who wish to expand their collection with a lesser-known subspecies of the famous Mediterranean tree. The dense round crown and grey-green leaves make this plant a decorative specimen that will adorn terraces, balconies, and conservatories. The pack contains 20 seeds, providing enough seed for growing several trees and for repeated sowing. 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.
