A Mediterranean/Tuscan landscape is a unique landscape that brings your home into a whole new world. Everyone would love to be surrounded by a taste of Italy every day and feel like they’re on vacation when they step out into their yard; and one variety of tree can make all the difference in getting that Tuscan experience.
The Olive tree has been the perfect staple tree for the Mediterranean landscape style. One of our favorite varieties that we grow is the Manzanillo Olive tree.
This slow-to-moderate growing olive variety can be pruned in any way any time of the year. It will also handle any weather condition in our region and drought-tolerant.
The Manzanillo Olive tree is known for its glistening silver foliage and its gnarled trunk that adds contrast to most landscapes and existing foliage. They can be used as a focal point and an excellent option for planting in groups.
It can also be used for privacy screenings because they keep their dense canopy all year long and adds a unique look. This a great tree to incorporate some landscape lighting! Install lighting right under the trunk break and canopy to create a ample shadow play that will bring you right into the atmosphere of Central Italy.
A perfect choice for any landscape, the Manzanillo Olive, is one of Moon Valley Nurseries go-to trees. Locally grown right here in Southern California, allows for all our clients to have the best trees to choose from grown in their climate!
