Olea europaea 'Montra' (Globe or Cone) is more commonly celebrated as the Little Ollie Dwarf Olive; a versatile and dependable shrub that garnishes any landscape with a distinctive Mediterranean flair. Standing proudly at a manageable 4-6 feet in both height and width at maturity, this robust evergreen showcases an artful globe or cone-like structure. It boasts a dense display of shimmering, silvery-green foliage, creating a visually appealing textural element within any setting. This olive variety, unlike its fruit-bearing siblings, focuses on foliage rather than fruit, thus leading to a mess-free, aesthetic display. Little Ollie's adaptability is commendable as it thrives under the warmth of full sun and doesn't shy away from diverse conditions - from hot, arid locales to cool, coastal environments. Its ability to withstand drought, coupled with its notable resistance to deer and pests, positions this dwarf olive as a low maintenance choice, optimal for water-wise landscapes or mixed borders. Whether showcased in a sophisticated topiary, arranged in creative container combinations or utilized as a structured low hedge, the Little Ollie Dwarf Olive ensures an intriguing visual treat year-round while demanding very little in return.
