Why Choose Kalamata Olive Trees?

Kalamata olives are world-renowned for their rich taste and meaty texture, beloved in salads, antipasto, or marinated with herbs. In New Zealand, Olive Kalamata trees grow well in sunny, sheltered spots with well-drained soil. Once established, they require little maintenance, showing good drought tolerance and pest resistance. With their handsome grey-green foliage and decorative fruit, Kalamata olive trees are both productive and beautiful, adding lasting value to any landscape.

Growing Olive Kalamata in New Zealand

To get the best from your Kalamata olive tree, choose a warm, sunfilled location. Protect young trees from harsh frost, especially in their first years. While Kalamata olives are self-fertile, your harvest can improve with cross-pollination. Consider companion planting with other olive varieties, such as Olive Ascolano, Olive Barnea, Olive El Greco, Olive Frantoio, or Olive J5. These trees not only boost yields but also deliver a diversity of flavours and uses for your kitchen.

Once established, Kalamata olives need minimal watering and only occasional pruning to shape. You’ll enjoy spring blossoms, followed by long, dark fruit ready to pick in late autumn. Cure your olives at home or press a batch for your very own extra-virgin oil.
