Little Ollie 'Dwarf Olive'

Olea europaea ‘Montra’ | Little Ollie® Dwarf Olive

Little Ollie® Dwarf Olive is a compact, non-fruiting evergreen shrub prized for its fine-textured, gray-green foliage and tidy growth habit. With its Mediterranean charm and versatility, it’s perfect for formal hedges, borders, topiary, or container plantings. Since it produces no messy fruit, it’s an ideal low-maintenance choice for patios, walkways, and poolside landscapes.
