Olea europea pyramidalis or Pyramid olive tree - A green jewel for your garden
The Olea Europea Pyramidalis, this majestic olive tree, stands like a green sentinel in our gardens. With its characteristic silhouette and its evergreen foliage, it embodies the resilience and beauty of Mediterranean nature.
Description and particularities of the Olea Pyramidalis
Pyramid olive tree is a variety of olive tree that captivates with its unique shape. Unlike its congeners with free curves, the Pyramidal olive tree rises in a pyramidal conical shape, offering an architectural presence in the garden. Its evergreen leaves, a bright silvery green, shimmer under the hot sun, while its small white flowers, although modest, are the prelude to a Mediterranean treasure: the olive.
Growing the Olea europea Pyramidalis in the garden
For Pyramid olive tree to thrive in your garden, it needs plenty of light and well-drained soil. Choose a location bathed in sunlight, where water does not stagnate, its roots do not tolerate humidity. Although it is a champion of drought, the pyramidal olive tree appreciates judicious watering during the hot summers, especially in its young years, and pruning that respects its pyramidal stature at the beginning of spring.
Growing Olea Pyramidalis in a pot
In a pot, Pyramid olive tree becomes a jewel capable of embellishing terraces and balconies. Choose a container worthy of its beauty, with good drainage at the bottom (argex balls) and a potting soil mixed with garden soil and coarse gravel. Watering must be regular, but moderate, because the olive tree does not like to have its feet in water. A supply of fertilizer during the growing season will be beneficial for renewed vigor.
Protecting Olea Pyramidalis in cold areas
The Pyramid olive tree is hardy, but harsh winters are not its friends, and it will only withstand frost once it is fully grown. In areas where frost threatens, wrap it in a wintering fleece and insulate the pot to protect its roots (or bring it indoors). Thus prepared, it will withstand the onslaught of moderate cold and will continue to adorn your outdoor space with its Mediterranean presence.
