Dwarf Olive

Bring timeless Mediterranean character to your space with the Dwarf Olive Tree, an elegant evergreen plant featuring narrow grey-green leaves with silvery undersides and a compact, branching form. Its refined foliage and naturally sculptural appearance make it an attractive choice for sunny balconies, patios, entrances, courtyards, and bright interior spaces.

Although it may be displayed indoors beside a very sunny window, the Dwarf Olive grows best outdoors with abundant direct sunlight and good air circulation.
