Common Name:
Nab Tamri Olive
Description:
Olea europaea ‘Nab Tamri’ is a premium olive variety valued for its large, elongated fruit and excellent oil-producing qualities. This evergreen tree features elegant, narrow silvery-green foliage and develops a classic Mediterranean form with age, adding both structure and timeless appeal to the landscape. In spring, it produces small, creamy-white flowers, followed by olives that mature from green to deep purple-black. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, it thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soils, particularly sandy or loamy types. ‘Nab Tamri’ is primarily grown for oil production but can also be used for table olives when properly cured. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and low maintenance, benefiting from occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage airflow. Ideal for home orchards, feature planting, or large pots, it offers both ornamental value and productive yield.
