Description

Wilson Olive (Olea europaea 'Wilsonii') is an elegant, slow-growing evergreen tree prized for its silvery foliage, sculptural branching, and minimal fruit production. Its rounded canopy develops above one or multiple gray trunks that gradually become twisted and gnarled with age, creating a timeless Mediterranean appearance. Narrow gray-green leaves reveal silvery undersides, adding soft color and movement throughout the year. Considered a semi-fruitless olive, 'Wilsonii' produces little to no fruit under typical conditions, making it a practical choice near patios, walkways, and paved areas. Thriving in full sun, heat, and well-drained soil, this handsome tree brings enduring structure and drought tolerance to California landscapes.
