Olive Tree (Olea europaea) – Mediterranean Beauty for Kenya

Transform your garden, patio, or farm with the Olive Tree (Olea europaea) – a timeless symbol of peace, abundance, and Mediterranean beauty. Native to the dry, sunny climates of Southern Europe, this evergreen tree is exceptionally well-suited to Kenya’s hot regions, including Naivasha, Machakos, and the Rift Valley. With its elegant silvery-green foliage and gnarled trunk, the Olive Tree adds structure, charm, and a sense of heritage to any space.

This drought-tolerant tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for water-conscious gardeners and farmers. Once established, it requires minimal watering and maintenance, making it a smart, sustainable choice for long-term landscaping projects or small-scale olive cultivation. While its fruiting potential is limited indoors or in shaded areas, under the right outdoor conditions it can produce small, edible olives – a rewarding bonus for any plant lover or aspiring grower.

Perfect for both ornamental and productive use, the Olive Tree is versatile: grow it in large pots on sunny balconies, use it as a statement piece in xeriscape designs, or incorporate it into eco-conscious orchards. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round beauty and interest, whether in modern homes or traditional farms.
