Using garden Harvest dwarf olive tree

The grower's sheet lists Garden Harvest as an edible fruit tree whose fruit is good for eating as well as for making oil, suggests it in a grove planting where there is room or for the contrast of its foliage colour, and says it can be used as a hedge. The sheet gives no hedge spacing and does not say whether the plant needs a second variety to set fruit; the species' references advise planting two varieties so they pollinate each other. The sheet's general note on olives is that they flourish with good drainage, cool winters and hot dry summers without humidity, and prefer a humus-rich soil.

Cautions

The Queensland Government's Weeds of Australia fact sheet says the common olive is regarded as a significant environmental weed in South Australia, where non-cultivated olives are declared plants, and as an environmental weed in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT. HortFlora says the seed is spread by birds and foxes. Garden Harvest is a fruiting olive.

Olives are declared under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019: landholders must control olive trees that are not maintained for harvesting, and any seedlings. Weeds Australia lists the European olive, subsp. europaea, as a declared weed in South Australia and the African olive, subsp. cuspidata, as declared in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia. NSW WeedWise lists the African olive under the general biosecurity duty across New South Wales, with regional measures for the Central Tablelands, Greater Sydney, Hunter and North West under which it should not be bought, sold, moved, carried or released. (Landscape South Australia Act 2019 (Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board fact sheet, Government of South Australia); Weeds Australia weed profiles; NSW WeedWise (NSW Biosecurity Act 2015 and the Regional Strategic Weed Management Plans))
