Autumn Olive

Autumn Olive plants like half day to full sun, well-drained soil and are self-fertile. They can be grown in USDA zones 3-8 and often begin bearing the 2nd year after planting. They reach about 8-10 feet in height at maturity. Autumn Olive is not related to the true Olive and can be invasive in some regions of the US. We’ve seen no problems in the Pacific Northwest. Check with your county extension office for more information.
