About Mission Olive Tree

Olea europaea ‘Mission’ — Mission Olive
🫒 Origin: California, USA
🌿 A historic California olive with versatile fruit, silvery foliage, and enduring mission-garden beauty.

Mission is a treasured California olive variety with deep historical roots. Long associated with early California mission plantings, it produces versatile fruit that may be cured as table olives or pressed for oil.

With its architectural form and shimmering evergreen foliage, Mission brings heritage, beauty, and permanence to the edible landscape.

🌿 Plant & Fruit Traits

💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It

Mission is more than an olive tree — it is a living piece of California garden history. Its silvery leaves and enduring shape are stunning beside roses and warm-climate companion plants.

❄️ Overwintering Indoors: In cold climates, grow Mission in a container and overwinter indoors in very bright light. Water lightly during winter and move back outside after the danger of frost has passed.

Watering: Deep, regular watering while young; less frequent once established
Soil: Performs best in well-drained soils
Pruning: Prune lightly to shape and encourage airflow
