The olive topiary tree originates from the Mediterranean Basin. It's a popular choice for decorative landscaping in Mediterranean-style gardens, courtyards, and as an elegant indoor container plant.
A truly elegant plant, this olive topiary boasts a graceful structure and striking gray-green, silver foliage that shimmers in the sunlight. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves and naturally compact, bushy growth create a refined, timeless beauty perfect for enhancing any space.
Olive trees are known for their relatively slow to moderate growth rate. This characteristic is ideal for a topiary, as it helps the tree maintain its sculpted shape for longer periods between trimmings.
The olive tree is remarkably resilient and drought-tolerant once established. Its slow growth rate means less frequent pruning is needed to maintain its sculpted form compared to many other topiary species. Like all living plants, the olive topiary contributes to a healthier indoor environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, improving air quality.

In warmer climates (USDA Zones 8-10), the olive tree thrives outdoors in full sun. In cooler regions, it makes a stunning, long-lasting indoor plant near a bright window or can be moved outdoors in summer and brought inside for winter.
Water when the top soil is dry, and protect from harsh frosts.
The most critical factor for olive tree soil is excellent drainage. They are highly susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions.
Ideal temperatures range from 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C).
Olive trees (Olea europaea) are widely considered non-toxic to humans, dogs, and cats.
