Olea europaea 'Bambalina' (Bambalina Olive)

Olea europaea 'Bambalina' (Bambalina Olive) is an ultra-compact olive variety perfect for small gardens, patios, and container growing. This dwarf cultivar reaches only a fraction of the size of standard olive trees while maintaining the characteristic silvery-green foliage and gnarled trunk appearance. Despite its small stature, it can produce small crops of edible olives suitable for table use or oil. Its slow growth and manageable size make it ideal for formal gardens, topiary, or as an ornamental feature in limited spaces.

Ideal for courtyards, containers, and small urban gardens, 'Bambalina' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established and can be easily maintained with minimal pruning. This dwarf olive is particularly valued for its ornamental appeal, compact habit, and ability to bring Mediterranean style to even the smallest garden spaces.
