This Mediterranean evergreen grows slowly to 25-45 feet with graceful upright form and silvery-green leaves. In June and July, fragrant white flowers attract bees. By December, these mature into small, perfectly dark-black olives yielding superior quality oil. The fruit holds on the tree beautifully without drop. This variety is notably cold-hardy for an olive... reliable to Zone 8-9... and remarkably tolerant of drought, poor soils, coastal salt spray, and high winds. Resistant to olive knot and olive fly. Begin bearing fruit within three years of planting and can live for centuries with minimal care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho Grows Canino Olive Seeds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMediterranean climate gardeners wanting authentic Italian heritage.
