Chinese Olive (Canarium album)
The Chinese Olive, also known as White Olive, is a subtropical fruit tree native to Southeast Asia. Though unrelated to true olives, its fruits bear a similar shape and are traditionally used in Chinese cuisine and medicine. The fruit is firm and astringent when raw but transforms with preparation—often salted, pickled, or stewed into herbal broths and sauces. Sweetened, dried versions are also popular as snacks in many Asian markets.
This tree is known for its upright, elegant form, growing up to 30–60 feet tall in the ground, though it can be pruned and maintained at a smaller size. It prefers full sun, well-draining soil, and a warm, humid climate. While it can handle some drought once established, it is not frost-tolerant and should be protected in cooler regions.
Chinese Olive is a long-term investment in the garden, often taking several years to begin fruiting, but it rewards patience with unique, culturally significant harvests. Ideal for collectors, culinary gardeners, or those with ties to Asian food traditions.

Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
