American Plant Exchange Arbequina Olive Tree – Live 5-Inch Pot, Fruit Bearing Tree, Cold Hardy Edible Variety for Containers, Patios, and Mediterranean-Inspired Gardens

Even in our recent NE freezing weather the plant arived in perfet shape. Awesome plant, good size and very healthy looking.

Healthy, beautiful. Arrived in good shape. Is thriving, though no flowering or fruiting yet. UPDATE: I bought two of these from the same grower. The first was early in the year. It has grown a lot and is super healthy. I was so pleased with it I bought another several months later. The second one is infested with San Jose scale. I've been handpicking and spraying with Neem oil, but looking through a microscope, there are hundreds and hundreds of microscopic scale insects smaller than the point of a straight pin. I have removed the tree further from my other fruit trees, which I hope are not affected. I am disappointed because I love container growing citrus and olive and hoped to add some other kinds of dwarf trees. I will still try with this particular plant over winter. But I may have to trash it if I can't control them.

Very nice little tree, came quickly, packed with high quality. The height with the pot was about 22-23 inches, if without the pot it was 18 inches. Beautiful green leaves, only on a few of them I noticed some spots, but not critical. I transplanted it into a pot the next day, made drainage in the pot, took a mixture of soil for cacti (it works well for olive trees). There was also some kind of package in the parcel without a signature, but when I opened it, there was something like a fertilizer, I sat it a little on top of the ground and watered the plant. I don't have a sunny side indoors, so I bought her a special lamp, and in the spring I will take her outside on the terrace. Also in the spring I will start fertilizing the tree a little, I hope that everything will be okay with it and I will add to the review after a while. I'm having trouble with the pot I transplanted it into. I bought a pot that wasn't very large so that the olive would grow upwards and not at the root. The pot should have been 2-3 inches longer than the roots. But when I started repotting the tree, its root was twice as long as the pot I came in! I didn't expect this, but I had to repot it as it is. I will not risk replanting it again in the coming months, so as not to injure the tree. Therefore, keep in mind that the root will be long and the tree will need a tall, but not very wide pot. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and if my plant is happy I will buy more. 07/24/24 I am writing an addition to the review because at the time of purchase I did not realize that the plant arrived infected with scale insects. When I Googled and found out what was going on, I started to fight them. The fight against the pest lasted many months, I spent a lot of effort, nerves and money on various pesticide treatments, trying to save the plant, but unfortunately I was not able to do this.

I ordered two olive trees. After a couple of weeks, they started to wilt and lose leaves. I provided proper care, including appropriate temperature, additional lighting, and everything needed for their comfort. I really tried to save them. After carefully checking the roots, I discovered live aphids in the soil around the root system. Unfortunately, nothing helped, and after a few weeks the trees became completely lifeless and died. I’m very disappointed, although I’m grateful that my other plants did not get infected.

This scrumptious tree arrived in wonderful condition: she is the healthiest of olive trees I have ever procured (usually from Whole Foods). I repotted her into a terra cotta pot (Bergens), and in three months she has grown taller by six inches. I could not be happier with this purchase! I’ll buy from here again!

Beautiful tree, I did have a little hiccup with my first order, it arrived dead and dying, but once I communicated with the employee about the situation they refunded me so I could get a replacement. Of course I got it again for a second chance and the new one is in full swing, healthy, shaped cute, and new branches are being produced. Definitely going to order again when I have the funds to do so again!

The arbequina olive tree that was purchased from the American Plant Exchange was really well wrapped. It also looks very healthy and I could see it was watered and just put it facing the sun

I received my trees timely and the pictures do not represent what you will actually receive. The trees are larger and less expensive then local nursery and big box stores. Buy here if you want a strong and healthy, well packaged plant. Thank you!

Love this baby olive tree. It arrived well packaged and as a very healthy happy tree. I highly recommend it 😍👍🏼🤙🏼
