One of the most reliable and cold hardy varieties, Frantoio Olive Tree has been grown in Portland for years and lights up any street corner it’s planted on, especially in winter! Trees grow very fast in youth, especially when given deep waterings and can reach a height of 20′ x 10′ relatively quickly. Foliage on Frantoio is particularly silvery and is gorgeous planted next to a street light or when seen blowing in the wind.
