FRUITLESS OLIVE

---

• Like the standard fruiting olive, the "Fruitless" cultivar has narrow, silvery-gray leaves and an interesting gnarled bark. Prefers full sun and is hardy to 15 degrees F.
   
• Can be grown in standard form or with multiple trunks. Heavy pruning can cause the trunk and branches to sunburn and encourages sucker growth along the branches and from the base of the tree.
   
• "Fruitless" is a cultivar developed for ornamental gardens. In spite of its name, it will occasionally fruit, but not in the quantity found in other olive trees. Very drought tolerant once established.
   
• Height 25-35 feet.
