Manzanillo Olive Tree – High-Quality Olives for Gourmet Oil 🍈🌳

The Manzanillo Olive Tree is a favorite for both home gardeners and commercial producers, known for its delicious, firm olives with a rich, savory flavor. This versatile tree produces high-yielding olives that are perfect for pressing into premium olive oil, as well as for eating fresh or preserving. The Manzanillo variety is recognized for its complex, slightly nutty taste with a touch of bitterness, making it an essential ingredient in Mediterranean cooking. Whether you’re pressing it into exquisite olive oil, preparing a fresh tapenade, or adding it to gourmet dishes, the Manzanillo Olive Tree will provide chemical-free fruit that is both flavorful and nutritious. The tree’s hardiness and adaptability make it suitable for a variety of growing conditions, from small garden spaces to larger orchards.


USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 7-10
  • Requires minimal chill hours, perfect for regions with mild winters 🌞

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Manzanillo Olive Tree is self-pollinating, so you can enjoy a productive harvest with just one tree. However, planting multiple trees will increase the fruit size and yield.
  • Recommended Varieties: While the tree is self-pollinating, planting other varieties nearby can improve pollination and increase fruit production.
  • Fruit Description: The Manzanillo olives are medium-sized, with a green to purple hue when ripe. The fruit is firm with a robust, savory flavor that makes them perfect for oil extraction and culinary uses.
  • Taste: Manzanillo olives are known for their distinct nutty, slightly bitter flavor, making them a favorite for both fresh consumption and oil production.
  • Ripening Time: The olives ripen in late fall to early winter, typically between October and December, providing a late-season harvest.

How to Plant & Grow Manzanillo Olive Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day is essential for healthy growth and optimal fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly alkaline soil (pH 7.0-8.0), enriched with organic material for best growth.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-15 feet apart to allow for healthy growth and proper air circulation between trees.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Manzanillo Olive Tree grows to a mature height of 12-20 feet, making it suitable for both small orchards and backyard gardens.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Choose a sunny location with slightly alkaline, well-draining soil. Amend it with compost to improve fertility and soil texture.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole that is at least twice the size of the root ball to allow ample space for the roots to establish and expand.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the tree for better airflow and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to encourage strong root development. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support fruit production.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.
