This distinctive evergreen tree has narrow gray-green leaves that have a beautiful silvery underside. Fruitless Olives do not produce fruit (hence the name) and therefore eliminate the mess that comes with owning Olive Trees. This tree produces small insignificant creamy-white/yellow flowers that are sterile and produce no allergy causing pollen. Once the Fruitless Olive is mature, the trunk will become twisted and distorted- adding even more visual appeal.
