olive is low in water requirements and displays a high tolerance
for salt and alkali. Its stems, buds, and leaves have a dense covering
of silvery to rusty scales. Leaves are egg or lance-shaped, smooth
margined, and alternate along the stem. At three years of age, plants
begin to flower and fruit. Highly aromatic, creamy yellow flowers
appear in June and July and are later replaced by clusters of abundant
silvery fruits.
