Olea europaea – Pom-pom
The “Olive Tree”, Olea europaea, is a perennial tree native to the Mediterranean basin, of incomparable ornamental value, standing out for its longevity, silvery foliage, and its fruits, olives, the source of precious olive oil.
Its enormous versatility in cultivation forms—ranging from shrub-like specimens to shaped crowns, bonsais, or sculptural pom-pom pieces—makes it one of the most sought-after ornamental trees in Mediterranean gardening, both as a focal point and in groupings.
It tolerates drought, heat, and poor, calcareous soils very well once established, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom, we directly cultivate each specimen, guaranteeing a balanced habit and exceptional quality in every piece, whether for specific projects or continuous supply.
