How to Care for Ornamental Olive in Perth
● Sunlight: Plant in a sunny position for healthy, dense foliage.
● Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Perth’s sandy soils are suitable when drainage is good.
● Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, the tree is drought tolerant, although occasional deep watering during very hot, dry weather is beneficial.
● Pruning: Tip-prune dwarf forms to encourage a dense, bushy shape. Trim larger trees to maintain the desired size and structure.
● Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring according to the product directions.
● Mulching: Apply mulch around the root zone, keeping it away from the trunk.
● Drainage: Avoid waterlogged soil.
Landscaping Importance
Non-fruiting ornamental olives are ideal for:
● Feature trees in contemporary and Mediterranean-style gardens
● Formal hedges, screening and topiary
● Driveways, pathways and entrance gardens
● Courtyards, patios and large pots, especially dwarf varieties
● Commercial landscapes and low-maintenance garden designs
● Adding year-round foliage colour and elegant structure
Their attractive silvery foliage pairs beautifully with lavender, rosemary, westringia, ornamental grasses and other drought-tolerant plants.
Important: Choose a named low- or non-fruiting cultivar, such as Swan Hill or Dwarf Peace Plant, rather than an unspecified olive seedling. “Non-fruiting” varieties may still occasionally produce fruit, so confirm the exact cultivar when purchasing.
