Product Description
Tasty Olives Plus Fast Growth
Why Arbequina Olive Trees?
The promise of fresh, healthy olives. Arbequinas are popular because of their flavor, but they also have a high concentration of healthy, antioxidant-rich oils. You can get up to 20 pounds of olives each year to enjoy in your salads and add to your favorite recipes.Plus, they grow nearly anywhere. They're seldom bothered by pests and will grow organically, no matter where you live. Even better? Arbequinas grow indoors year-round. These trees are semi-deciduous, meaning they only drop their leaves in extreme cold and tolerate 20-degree weather. Grown indoors, they'll keep their leaves throughout the winter.
You can plant them outdoors in areas with temperatures as low as 10 degrees, if they're blocked from northern winds. If you're up North, place them in a container and bring them indoors during the harshest weeks of winter, moving them outdoors again during the summer months.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
For starters, Arbequinas are self-pollinating, so you only need one to produce fruit, though extra trees mean an even bigger bounty. And best of all, our trees are started from branch cuttings instead of seeds, so you'll have olives several years sooner. Your tree is grown and shipped in its own container with all of its roots intact, so your tree is ready to grow quickly and fruit. We’ve done the extra work so that you can enjoy a healthful, productive tree even sooner.Order your own Arbequina while they're still available!

Arbequina Olive Tree Pollination
Arbequina Olive Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Arbequina Olive Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.

Not as big as I expected.
The tree arrived. It was said to be of fruit bearing age. The tree is only approximately 2 foot tall and a single stem. I don’t see the tree producing any fruit for a couple years. I paid extra to get a jump start on production. Was not very happy about the size. Enough of that though. The tree arrived in good shape and is growing well. Hopefully it will start producing soon.
We're sorry to hear that your tree was a little bit disappointing! It's grafted to a mature root stock so it is fruit bearing age, but due to the size of the tree, you will not get a ton of fruit right away. Once the tree matures and grows a little larger, we assure you that you'll be very happy!
Olive in New York
It arrived in great shape on November 30. It still looks great and has lost some leaves but is actually putting out some tiny new leaves even though it is currently living indoors in the North in December. So far so good. My husband had to build a 1/2" mesh steel surround for it to keep our herbivorous cat from eating/climbing it. I was surprised at how tall it was on arrival.
Needed to help my other Olive tree produce olives
Just put them in last year in hopes to aid our other Olive tree that survived. The one that died stunted the growth of the live one I think. It's been three years for the original so I hope these new buddies help him give us olives.
First Olive Tree
The tree arrive in good shape in late October. I put it in a larger pot and watered it. Since the weather turned cold and the potting mix is still wet. I hope I didn't water it too much. It still looks good. Keeping my fingers crossed I am looking forward to spring and a growing olive tree.
Love this company
Receive the tree in great condition I ordered a three to four foot tree and received almost a 6-foot tree that is very healthy
Planting & Care
The size of the tree means it is suitable for dense planting. The Arbequina Olive Tree is also very popular with consumers given its unique flavor, which is quite peppery as well as the health benefits associated with it. Many people like to use olive oil in cooking. The Arbequina Olives change color during the ripening process, going from a light green to pink before finally becoming a brown to purple shade.
1. Planting: You should plant your Arbequina Olives in a small container. Once it has reached a few feet tall, you can move it to a permanent place to grow. Do this by digging a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Place the Olive Tree inside and cover with soil.
2. Watering: Allow Olive trees to dry out a bit in between waterings, never allowing the soil to become saturated. When the soil is dry down to about the first two inches, it’s time to water.
3. Fertilizing: Use a high nitrogen fertilizer, something like a 17-6-10 timed-release formula would be perfect. And if your Arbequina Olives shows signs of weeds, simply remove the weeds and as much of the weed root system as possible.
4. Pruning: Thin out young plants to 3 to 4 main branches. After blooming in spring, clip the tips of the branches. Make the cut just above the point where a pair of leaves attaches to the stem. Leave each branch at least 6 inches long, but how much longer is up to you and what will look good on your balcony or patio.
5. Pollination: Arbequina Olives are wind pollinated, and generally self-fertile. However, you will get better fruit production if you have more than one tree. Be sure to either choose two of the same variety, or if you are picking different varieties, two or more trees that bloom at the same time.
