Swan Hill Olives®

Non-Fruiting Olive Trees

Swan Hill Olives® Tree

Swan Hill Olives^® trees are ideally suited for residential and commercial landscape applications. Equally appropriate and adapted to landscape themes from classic lawn settings, desert-inspired designs and the very popular Tuscan architectural style. Fruitless and pollenless, Swan Hill Olives^® trees bring a lush, shade rich elegance to homes and estates.

Non-fruiting

The Swan Hill Olives® Tree is a non-fruiting tree discovered near the small town of Swan Hill in Northern Victoria Province, Australia by a UC Davis researcher. The lack of fruit production is desirable in a landscape setting, eliminating mess and maintenance associated with fallen fruit.

Pollenless

Unlike the Common European Olive, Swan Hill Olives® trees yield little, if any, airborne pollen due to the formation of imperfect flowers. Public health concerns about allergenic pollen led to a ban on the importation and sale of the Common European Olive in Clark County, Nevada, and in Pima and Maricopa Counties of Arizona. Swan Hill Olives® trees are exempt from these ordinances due to its pollenless nature.

Disease Resistant

Verticillium wilt is a devastating disease of many plants caused by the fungus Verticillium albo-atrum. The Common European Olive is very susceptible and, once infected, trees slowly decline and eventually die. We have reduced the risk of this devastating disease by grafting our Swan Hill Olives® trees onto disease-resistant rootstock.

Drought Tolerant

Once established, Swan Hill Olives® trees are drought-tolerant in the landscape, making them a desirable choice for residential or commercial settings, especially when local or state ordinances require water efficiency in the landscape.

Thrives in Full Sun
or Partial Shade

Swan Hill Olives® trees thrive in full sun or partial shade, making them excellent candidates for multiple applications. They can also be grown in large containers or planters.

Attractive Foliage

Swan Hill Olives® trees have attractive, evergreen foliage that is soft green above with silvery undersides. The leaves are larger, reminiscent of a fruiting olive leaf, and the trees provide much-needed shade in hotter climates.

Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery

Swan Hill Olives® trees are grown by Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery at our growing ground in Farmington, California. We offer sales of our trees starting in 24” boxes and up to 120” boxed specimen trees. Both standard (single trunk) and multiple trunk trees are available.

Grafted Trees

Swan Hill Olives® trees are grafted onto disease-resistant rootstock, resulting in a non-fruiting, pollenless tree with superior resistance to Verticillium wilt. Suckers growing from beneath the graft location should always be removed to maintain the non-fruiting nature of Swan Hill Olives® trees.
