There are thousands of different types of olive trees in the world, but to list them all would be impossible. Below are some of the more popular and well known types of olives and olive trees.
Arbequina Olives: This type of olive is from the Catalonia region of Spain, and is a small olive (relatively speaking, since most olives are "small") with a light to dark brown color. The popularity of this olive is mostly due to it having a distinct "nutty" flavor.
Olive trees require well-drained soil, as they are prone to root rotting. Proper irrigation system is required for olive trees. However, they can withstand extended dry periods. Fertilizers with extra supply of nitrogen can help the growth of olive trees considerably.
Olive trees can greatly vary in their looks and may have weeping branches or long and narrow leaves. These trees can also be dwarfed to form fine bonsai indoor plants or can be included in gardens for beautification.
