Family Oleaceae
Originating from Spain

A robust and striking Spanish variety, prized for its dense, upright habit and luminous, silver-green leaves that shimmer in the breeze. With age, the smooth, pale grey bark matures into a sculptural, gnarled form, enhancing its architectural appeal. Creamy-white, star-like flowers appear in late spring, adding subtle charm. Particularly well-suited to pots and dry, well-drained soils, it flourishes in sunny, sheltered locations. Ideal for courtyards, patios, or as a statement specimen in a formal or naturalistic setting. Prune to maintain a neat shape or train as a standard.

Mature height and spread after 20 – 50 years 6m x 4m
