They grow well in dry or wet soil as long as it is well-draining and humid or non-humid climates, as well as a wide variation in temperature from just below freezing to the triple digits. 

Arbequina Olive Trees flower at an early age and produce an abundance of small, dark tasty olives.  They fruit throughout the fall and winter months.  Our olive trees in size XL are capable of flowering and fruiting within 1-2 years.  Our trees in size medium will take about 3-4 years to fruit.  They’ll bear heavier harvests once mature, after about 7-8 years.
