Hardy and Hearty Growth in California
Why Mission Olive Trees?
Prized for its versatility and use in pickling, as well as oil production, the Mission Olive Tree is an ideal pick for your own at-home orchard. Even better? The Mission boasts one of the smallest pits and greatest cold resistance of any cultivar in California. Plus, since it's grown in California, it performs well in your California landscape.
Basically, the Mission is second to none when it comes to adaptability and a multitude of uses. Planted in the ground, Missions reach 20 to 30 feet in height, but when they’re container-planted, they last season after season and stay a smaller, more manageable size for indoor areas. Best of all, it’s strong and vigorous, so it doesn’t take much to ensure this tree thrives.

Exceeded expectations
I'm so pleased with my purchase. The olive tree is lovely: It branches symmetrically, the leaves are all very healthy, and it was packed securely, although the box looked as though it had been dragged behind the FedEx truck for the last five miles (standard for FedEx in my experience). When it arrived, there was only one staple still holding the shipping box together. But no matter, my olive tree is intact, and I love it! Thank you for delivering something I've always wanted.
Love my olive tree!
This tree came in great shape and has been adjusting well. I have had great luck with the customer service, and lots of great info on care for my plants.
Disappointing
Very surprised to have purchased what I thought would be slightly more 'tree like.' Instead can confirm with the other recent review, this is a branch or a stick with low foliage. This is not what other, earlier reviews received it seems like. I called in to ask about the size of the shipping pot, she said around 9inches diameter, so get a 10inch pot. This is what I would have expected. Now I have to pivot for a different pot after buying this 10 inch.
Tree?
I purchased a 2-3 ft Mission Olive tree. What arrived was a tiny one stem plant with very very little foliage. Buyer beware! The “tree” looks nothing like the photos on the website.
trees seemed ok, but didn't survive the winter
I live in zone 8, so I know I'm borderline for Olive trees. After doing some research a few cultivars were listed as more cold tolerant than others. Based on that I bought two Mission olive trees and one Arbequina. Initially they all seemed to do well, but we had a few sub-freezing nights (about 25-28 F) afterward the mission trees shriveled and died. The Arbequina lost a few leafs, but seems to be doing fine. So if you're concerned about cold for outdoor planted olives, I give a strong reccomendation for the Arbequina, not so much the Mission.
