Notes
'Sevillano' olive (Olea europaea 'Sevillano') is a tree for containers, rock gardens, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant. Small summer flowers are fragrant. Growth is slow and the habit is erect, so give it room to reach its full size.
