Trees
A more compact and upright form of the typical species, producing branches to 4m (13½ft) and a canopy to 2m (6½ft) across after 10 years. The stems carry evergreen oval-shaped, grey-green foliage and clusters of lightly fragrant, small, cream coloured, fluffy flowers in early summer, followed by green olives when grown in warm areas, which turn black when ripe in autumn. The tree is reputedly more cold tolerant and of growing in slightly more shade than the typical species.
