The olive tree, Olea europaea "Mission," is one of the oldest cultivars in the world and has a very long lifespan. The fruit of the Olive Mission tree is used to manufacture olive oil and is popular for pickling as well as eating as a table olive. These olives provide great fruit, but they are also quite adaptable in the landscape; they can be fenced, pleached, fashioned into standards, and they also work well in a front-row coastal setting. A highly hardy plant that can be preserved as a tiny shrub, needs little care, and can be planted in large pots for an extended period of time.
