Potted Olive Tree (Sikitita)

The Sikitita Olive Tree is the ideal tree to pot for your living room, office, apartment, or patio. This tree’s dwarf structure (also known as weeping structure) is pleasing to the eye and the silvery color of its leaves catches the light in a striking way. Sikitita grows at a slower pace, grows well in a pot, and tolerates difficult situations where water can be scarce, a situation common with potted trees.

*Pot not included

USDA Zone: Appropriate for all zones when placed indoors, or zones 7-10 when placed on a covered patio close to your house.

Pot Size: Please pot in a 14-16 inch diameter pot. For more detailed information, visit our Tree Care page.

Tree Size: We grow our olive trees outdoors exposed to the elements in order to grow a stronger, more resilient tree compared to other olive trees on the market grown in highly controlled greenhouse environments. Because our trees are allowed to grow naturally, they often have curved or “kinked” trunks (a traditional characteristic of olive trees!) and can vary in shape and size. That said, our trees are ~3 feet tall when they are shipped out to you and they have been pruned by our team in advance.

Fruiting: The trees in our grove are between 3-5 years old when they arrive to you, and we cannot predict exactly when your tree will begin fruiting as it largely depends on the environment in which it is growing. However, most olive trees begin fruiting by year 4, so by next harvest season we anticipate you may see fruiting if the tree is well cared for. Please note that changes in environmental temperature can cause delays in fruiting (ex. moving a potted tree outdoors to indoors or drastic A/C changes if grown indoors only).
