Olive Trees Spring 2008 shipping has ended. Now taking preorders for Fall 2008 shipping. We were so excited when we found out it was possible to grow olive trees here in the South. These massive, long-lived trees require two things to be happy: temperatures above 10 degrees F in the winter and 300 hours of chill to bear fruit. The trees are gorgeous, willowy evergreens with a misty grey color. They are fast growers and will bear in 3 to 4 years. The fruit is picked green and pickled for green salad olives or allowed to ripen to black for crushing into olive oil, or making salted black olives. Push the panic button below and you'll find directions for processing your crop.
