Description
This plant is rare to see in Ireland but is very hardy and can be grown in most locations. It likes an
acid dry location best.
The olive tree is evergreen and will flower and produce olives here. It can be
grown for its fruiting ability but is more often used as a specimen. Great in large rockeries.
