The evergreen False Olive is a tough, fast-growing, and versatile indigenous tree perfect for hedging, screening, or shaping into a small ornamental tree. It thrives in full sun, is both drought and frost resistant, and has non-invasive roots—ideal for small gardens, containers, and even bonsai.
In spring, it produces masses of fragrant white flowers that attract birds, bees, and butterflies. It’s low-maintenance, responds well to pruning, and offers medicinal uses and durable wood, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
