Olea europaea – Bonsai

Olea europaea – Bonsai

The “Olive Tree”, Olea europaea, is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean basin, of incomparable ornamental value, noted for its longevity, silvery foliage, and its fruits, olives, the source of precious olive oil.

Its enormous versatility in cultivation forms—from shrub-like specimens to shaped standards, bonsais, or pom-pom style sculptural pieces—makes it one of the most sought-after ornamental trees in Mediterranean landscaping, 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.
