Olive Manzanillo 140mm

Olive ‘Manzanillo’ is one of the world’s most popular olive varieties, celebrated for its exceptional flavour and versatility. With its attractive grey-green foliage and naturally rounded form, it offers both ornamental beauty and abundant fruiting. The olives are plump, juicy, and rich in flavour — perfect for pickling, curing, or pressing into a smooth, aromatic oil.

This hardy variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it well suited to Australian climates. It is self-fertile, but planting another olive nearby can increase yields. Whether grown in the garden or a large pot, ‘Manzanillo’ brings a touch of Mediterranean charm and rewarding harvests year after year.

Tip: To boost fruit size and improve flavour, prune lightly after harvest to maintain an open canopy. This improves air flow and light penetration, helping the tree produce stronger, healthier new growth for next season’s crop.
