Other Details:  The Olea europaea ‘Wilsonii’ variety is a clean, evergreen, olive tree that does not produce fruit and therefore eliminates the messy fruit drop and possible allergy problems associated with fruit producing varieties. It is thornless, pest free, drought tolerant, long-lived and the smooth grey trunk will become gnarled with age. The ‘Wilsonii’ is a classic tree found in gardens throughout the southwest.
