Fruitless Olive Tree Care & Pruning
North County San Diego Tree Care Specialists
The Fruitless Olive (Olea europaea ‘Fruitless’) is a popular choice throughout San Diego for its classic Mediterranean look without the mess of falling fruit. It features a soft gray-green canopy and performs well in dry climates, making it ideal for low-water landscapes. While generally low maintenance, periodic pruning is important to maintain structure, improve airflow, and reduce excess pollen production.
