Olive – Olea Nevadillo Blanco

Originally named Hojiblanca (literally translated to “white leaf” in Spanish), Nevadillo Blanco is a beautiful contrasting tree with silver-white foliage. It bears large spherical fruit at 4.8g per olive and is prized for its high oil content. The graceful tree makes it an attractive specimen or hedging plant and is excellent in pots. Extended dry, hot conditions improve fruit yield. Highly drought tolerant and adaptable to coastal conditions. For enhanced growth and flowering we recommend using Troforte M All Purpose Slow Release fertiliser. 9m height and 6m width at maturity.

 

Water: Water well and often when freshly planted until tree becomes established. Additional watering during flowering and fruit set may be required. Drought tolerant.

 

Sun: Full sun.

 

Soil: Tolerant of poor soils, however well-drained and fertile is ideal. We recommend using Aussie Organics Premium Soil Conditioner prior to planting.
