I bought an arbuequina olive on a whim in 2023. I'm in zone 8b which is the lower end of their hardiness range. I'd never heard of anyone growing one outside around here. But I thought I'd give it a try in my greenhouse. Last year it got a mass of flowers but I didn't see any fruit. Yesterday I decided to prune a couple crossing branches and imagine my surprise to see this single olive hiding below one of the pruned branches!
Already lots of new growth on all branches for this year. I can't wait to see what olives I get this year!
