When grown from seeds, it makes a charming potted tree with a unique Mediterranean character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:13pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eHabit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eAn evergreen tree or large shrub reaching 8–15 m in nature, usually much smaller when grown in a pot. It has a twisted, picturesque trunk that becomes more gnarled with age and leathery leaves – dark green on top and silvery underneath. Small creamy flowers develop into drupes that ripen from green to dark purple-black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:13pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eZone and cultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe olive is a heat- and drought-loving plant, best grown in USDA zones 8–11. In cooler climates, it is grown in a pot: outdoors in full sun on the terrace during summer, and indoors in a bright, cool, and well-ventilated room (2–10°C) for winter. It requires well-draining soil and is very drought-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:13pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eGrowing from seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eSeeds (pits) have a hard, woody shell and a double dormancy, so scarification (cutting or filing the pit), soaking, and cold stratification are recommended before sowing. Germination is slow and uneven (from several weeks to several months) – this is cultivation for the patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/poradnik-wysiewu\"\u003eSee our guide to sowing exotic plant seeds.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":53531615560008,"sku":"2600","price":13.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":53531615592776,"sku":"2601","price":23.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":53531615625544,"sku":"2602","price":199.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/0001-6652326243107904537.jpg?v=1784132636","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-oliwki-europejskiej-olea-europaea","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
