Olea europaea africana

Very hardy, evergreen, drought resistant tree with gorgeous silvery foliage and a rounded crown.

It bears scented, greenish flowers from October to December followed by delicious edible small black Olives (these can be eaten directly from the tree and need no treatment to make them edible).

It is an excellent bird and insect tree that is much favoured by wildlife.Birds love to probe under the rough dark bark for insects.
