Olea europaea Seascape

Olea europaea Seascape (‘Nikitsaya’) is from the Nikita Botanic Garden in the Ukraine. It has proven itself a reliable producer in the Pacific Northwest of large, flavourful olives that are early-ripening. You can produce green or black olives and tasty olive oil. The presence of a different olive cultivar for pollination is likely required. Olives can be hardy in coastal BC in protected locations with excellent drainage. They will benefit from mulching and added protection in cold snaps. Elsewhere they make easy and beautiful container specimens and houseplants or greenhouse plants in winter. Provide as much heat and sun as possible in summer.
