Beilschmiedia tarairi (Taraire) trees growing in a modern garden.

Beilschmiedia tarairi (Taraire)

5 from 1 customers

Beilschmiedia tarairi, commonly known as the Taraire tree, is a unique, NZ native tree. Its prominent feature is the masses of olive-like, purple fruits through autumn and winter, which are favoured by birds. Also of interest are the leaves, which, when young, are covered in red-brown hairs that disappear as the tree ages. Taraire grows to about 20 m tall and 7 m wide, with a smooth, brown trunk. Its slow growth rate makes it ideal for long-term landscaping projects, including ecological restoration, park plantings, and as a specimen tree in larger gardens.

Why Choose Olive Trees for Your Garden

Olive trees are a fantastic addition to New Zealand gardens. They’re drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and bring an exotic feel to any outdoor space. Olive trees are evergreen and can be grown in the ground or in large containers, making them wonderful for courtyards, patios, or as feature trees. With the right conditions, you’ll be rewarded with beautiful silver-green foliage and, with the right variety, tasty olives for curing and eating.

Tips for Planting and Growing Olive Trees

Olive trees thrive in a sunny position with free-draining soil. They’re tolerant of coastal exposure and prefer slightly alkaline conditions, so consider adding lime to your soil if needed. Water well while your young tree establishes, then enjoy their natural resilience to drought. Annual pruning will keep your olive tree shapely and productive.
