For a compact, evergreen shrub with Mediterranean flair, Little Ollie Olive is the perfect choice. This miniature version of the classic olive tree features silvery-green foliage that adds a soft, elegant texture to any landscape. Reaching only 3 to 4 feet in height and width, it’s ideal for smaller spaces, containers, or as a low hedge. Little Ollie thrives in full sun and heat, making it an excellent choice for dry, arid regions. It’s drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal water, and its low-maintenance nature means it requires little pruning to maintain its tidy shape. While it doesn't produce edible olives, its ornamental beauty and year-round appeal make it a standout in gardens and landscapes.
