Olea europaea ‘ Mission’ / Mission Olive Tree

This broadleaf evergreen tree is highly valued for its versatile olives and attractive appearance. It features a dense, rounded crown and gray-green foliage. The small, purple-black olives are perfect for both pickling and pressing for high-quality olive oil, known for its rich, fruity flavor and buttery undertones. Thriving in full sun with low water and well-drained soils, it tolerates drought and poor soil conditions. ‘Mission’ is self-fertile but will produce more when planted next to another olive variety, making it useful in the landscape as a specimen plant.
