Notes
'Koroneiki' olive (Olea europaea 'Koroneiki') is a tree for olive oil and container growing. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun. It stays smaller than many olives, so it suits a large pot. It is self fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. The small olives make a green, fruity oil with herbal notes and a touch of bitterness.
Pairs well with Creeping thyme, Butterfly bush, and Anemone.
