Olive, Mission olive, 24 box std.mov.AVI

Mission Olive trees are the most vigorous growing olive trees, with the very classic tall v-shaped growth and grey trunks.

These are our 24" box standard forms, very mature trees.

As Franciscan priests came to California and established Missions they also brought with them olives, thus the coming out of the Mission Olive. A Franciscan missionary planted the first olive tree in California in 1769 at a Franciscan mission in San Diego, brought there from San Blas, Mexico, in 1769, and planted at Mission San Diego by Junipero Serra and by Don Jose de Balves After that olive trees were planted throughout Southern California but most of the older groves are now present mainly in Northern California
