Olea europaea ‘Tolley’s Upright’

Tolley’s Upright is a distinctive, narrow, columnar olive tree celebrated for its architectural, vertical form, making it ideal for modern gardens, courtyards, patios, and even small urban spaces. Unlike traditional olive trees with wide-spreading canopies, this variety maintains a slender, upright growth habit, allowing it to fit into tight spaces without sacrificing its ornamental presence.

The foliage is silvery-green, aromatic, and glossy, typical of olive trees, giving a soft, shimmering effect in sunlight. Its leaves release a pleasant fragrance when brushed or crushed.

Tolley’s Upright is a fruiting cultivar, producing small, high-quality olives suitable for fresh consumption or oil extraction. The tree also supports wildlife, attracting birds and pollinators to the garden.
It grows 3–5 meters in height with a narrow profile, developing a dense, elegant canopy that requires minimal pruning aside from occasional shaping or deadwood removal. This olive tree thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established, making it highly suitable for Mediterranean-style gardens or low-maintenance landscapes.
