Mission Olive Tree

The Mission Olive Tree is the backyard all-star for home growers who want both beauty and bounty. Whether you're in it for rich, flavorful oil or classic table olives, this versatile tree delivers. Originally cultivated in California, the Mission Olive Tree is known for its resilience, especially in cooler climates. Its small pit-to-flesh ratio means more olive per bite, and its naturally high oil content makes it a favorite for pressing. In the landscape, it matures to a stately 20–30 feet tall, adding Mediterranean charm to any space. Prefer something more compact? Keep it pruned in a container for a patio-friendly or even indoor tree with rustic appeal.
