Olive - Olea California Queen
A large-fruited table olive producing generous crops of meaty, mild olives suited to both green and black curing. California Queen is a reliable cropper with good flesh-to-pit ratio - a practical choice for home olive enthusiasts who want a substantial harvest from a single tree. Olives are among the most naturally suited trees for Perth's climate - hot dry summers, mild winters, and well-drained sandy soils closely mirror the Mediterranean conditions they evolved in. Once established they are genuinely drought tolerant, though good watering through summer improves fruit size and quality. Full sun is non-negotiable. Fertilise with a low-phosphorus fertiliser in spring. Prune lightly after harvest to open up the canopy and encourage the following season's fruit. A note on fruit: raw olives are not edible straight from the tree - all table olives need curing first.
