This is a self-fertile, hardy plant. Good outside in zones 7-10. Can be grown as a patio plant for northern states. Bring in before the cold sets in. Keep pruned to desired height. Grows delicious olives on this small tree. These are well rooted plugs! Get them before we pot them up and the price goes up. We ship Monday through Thursday. We only ship USPS Priority Mail for fast delivery. You will receive a plug like the one in the pictures. Thank you for looking at our plants!
