Why Choose Large Olive Trees in NZ

Planting large olive trees offers instant impact to your NZ garden or orchard. Unlike younger olive saplings, mature specimens provide immediate shade, structure, and, most importantly, fruit production within the first season or two after planting. Olives are well-suited to a wide range of New Zealand climates, and their legendary drought tolerance makes them ideal for low-maintenance landscaping. These beautiful trees also offer resilience to winds and coastal conditions.

Our Range of Large Olive Trees for Your NZ Garden

We offer several exceptional olive varieties, each with a proven track record in New Zealand’s diverse soils and climates. If fruit is your main priority, consider the Olive J5, a popular cultivar chosen for its heavy cropping and consistent oil quality. For a dual-purpose tree that excels as both an ornamental feature and prolific fruiter, the Olive Mission is a trusted classic in Kiwi groves.

Home gardeners seeking authentic Mediterranean flavour often turn to the Olive Verdale, known for its high oil content and juicy eating fruit. If you’re after a tree with outstanding table olives for pickling, the Olive Manzanillo produces large, crisp fruit perfect for NZ palates.

Large Olive Trees: Planting, Care & Landscape Value

Large olive trees for sale NZ-wide come with the bonus of advanced root systems, ensuring quicker establishment and better survival once planted. They require full sun and free-draining soils for maximum productivity, and once settled, are notably forgiving of dry summers.

Olive trees also make impressive screening plants or feature specimens, and with their silvery grey-green leaves and sculptural trunks, they complement natives like Beilschmiedia tarairi (Taraire) beautifully in mixed plantings.

For best results, dig a generous hole, amend the existing soil with compost, and mulch well—large olives appreciate deep, infrequent watering during their first summer. Regular pruning after fruiting encourages healthy branching and makes harvests easier.
