Bucida buceras - Black Olive

Market price from $139.99 to $209.99

Bucida buceras is a lush and hardy tropical tree renowned as the Black Olive, rising extravagantly up to 50 feet. Its remarkable resilience makes it a go-to feature for landscapes from coastlines to urban spaces, able to resist salt-laden winds and thrive in drought conditions with ease. This tree sets a picturesque scene with its dense, evergreen canopy of glossy dark green leaves, railway-rounded crown, and striking bark that ranges from dark grey to black. Significant not for their taste but for the aesthetic appeal, it produces small, non-edible, black, olive-like fruits, adding a unique element to its appeal. Paired with its small, subtle yellow flowers, the Black Olive tree maintains its appeal all year round. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun and is perfect for those seeking to add a long-lasting, visually striking element to their outdoor space. Moreover, while its name suggests a connection to the culinary olive tree, this is purely a nod to its fruit's appearance and should not be associated with edible olives.
