Olive Dwarf - Bambalina PBR

A dwarf ornamental variety of olive plant ( Olea europaea), Bambalina is favoured for its small leaves and dense growth habit, making it a great choice for hedging and screening. 

This variety does not produce many fruit but it is a vigorous grower and the small grey-green leaves respond well to regular pruning.  As a result it is perfect to be shaped for topiary or screening.  It is a very  hardy plant once established.

If trimmed regually Bambalina will  produce very little fruit. If  left to grow grown as a small tree fruit yield in suitable climates can be moderate.  If left to grow unpruned Bambalina will grow to around 1/4 the size of a regular olive tree (around 3m) but it can maintained at a height of around 1.5 to 2m with regular pruning.

Bambalina is frost hardy and very drought tolerant.. prefers full sun and well drained soil.  When planting as a  hedge spacing of  0.7m to 1m is recommended.

Bambalina is a PBR variety
