This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it!

I’m Dora, the Black Olive or the Dwarf Geometry Tree, native to the Florida Keys, Cuba and the Caribbean. I am not the same as a European black olive, but I do have compact leaves on spiny geometric branches and get tiny cream colored flowers. In the wild, I can grow to 40-50 feet tall! I will drop some leaves, though not all, throughout the year. The leaves can turn to red or orange before dropping and new growth regenerates quickly.

I like full to part sun. Keep me in steady temperatures above 50˚F all year. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Submerge about once every 5 days or more often when very hot or dry. In winter, I go semi-dormant and like some cooler temperatures, meaning don't set me next to a heater! Add a humidifier to the room for good practices.

Includes basic care instructions. We always recommend doing more research as each environment-- and tree!-- is unique. Plate sold separately.
