National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! The Leccino Olive Tree is a classic Italian heritage cultivar prized for its elegant semi-weeping canopy of silvery green foliage and fruitful yield of purple black olives ideal for oil or table use. It thrives in USDA zones 8 through 11 in full sun with well drained soil and adapts well once established. In colder zones it can be grown in a large container and overwintered indoors in a bright sunny window or cool sunroom with minimal watering during dormancy. Use it as a statement specimen in an edible landscape Mediterranean style garden or large patio where its graceful branches and evergreen leaves add year round interest and its fruiting habit provides seasonal reward.
