Nevadillo Blanco Olive Trees in Perth — Spanish Olive for Oil and Table
 
The Nevadillo Blanco Olive (Olea europaea 'Nevadillo Blanco') is a premium Spanish olive variety that brings genuine Mediterranean character to Perth gardens — and delivers a productive crop of high-quality olives at the same time. Originally named Hojiblanca meaning "white leaf" in Spanish, it's distinguished by its beautiful silver-white leaf undersides that give the whole tree a shimmering, two-tone appearance — one of the most ornamentally striking of all olive varieties available in Perth.
 
A High-Yielding Dual-Purpose Olive for Perth
 
The Nevadillo Blanco is prized above all for its exceptionally high oil content — making it one of the most productive olive oil varieties you can grow in a Perth home garden. It's also a heavy and reliable cropper that ripens early to mid-season, with fruit ready for harvest from March through to September. As a dual-purpose variety it's equally suited to use as a table olive or for producing premium olive oil.
 
Perth's Mediterranean climate is ideal for the Nevadillo Blanco — the extended dry, hot summers encourage optimal fruit development, and the tree's natural drought tolerance makes it one of the most low-maintenance fruiting trees you can plant in a WA garden. It's self-pollinating, so you'll get a reliable fruit set without needing another olive variety nearby — though planting multiple trees can increase yields further.

Growing Nevadillo Blanco Olive in Perth
 
Plant in full sun in well-drained, reasonably fertile soil — Perth's sandy soils are well suited to olives. Water regularly and generously while establishing, and provide additional watering during flowering and fruit set to maximise the harvest. Once established the Nevadillo Blanco becomes highly drought tolerant and requires very little ongoing irrigation.
 
Prune annually to maintain your preferred size and shape. It can also be trained as an espalier against a wall or fence, or grown as an elegant formal standard. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring for best growth and fruit production.
