Overview
African Olive Tree Seeds Olea europaea subsp. africana 5 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 rounded crown made up of narrow grey-green leaves, as can be seen in the image of a mature 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 5 seeds, from which you can grow your own tree 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 bright hallway in winter.

Key Features:

  • Dense rounded crown — the tree forms 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 hue are typical for olive trees and give the tree an unmistakable appearance all year round.
  • Small edible fruits — the small olives have a bitter taste, and therefore are rarely consumed fresh and serve more as food for birds rather than for common 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.
  • Pot 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 5 seeds — the smaller pack is suitable for trying out cultivation or for growers who want to obtain several young trees for themselves or as a gift.
  • 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 experiences.
  • Long-lived wood — olive trees are known for their longevity, allowing you to enjoy the grown sapling for many years and gradually shape it.

Contents of the package:

  • 1x pack of Olea europaea subsp. africana seeds (5 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 rounded crown and grey-green leaves make this wood a decorative plant that will adorn terraces, balconies, and conservatories. The pack contains 5 seeds, allowing you to try growing from the very beginning and watch how a small seed becomes a young sapling. 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 a pot, these seeds are a good choice.
