Arbequina Olive Tree Produces Delicious Fruit, Thrives in Containers, and Stays Evergreen Year-Round
Grow Your Own Flavorful Olives at Home with the Arbequina Olive Tree
- Small, richly flavored olives with high oil content ripen in fall which are suitable for pressing and table use
- Self-fertile and precocious, often begins fruiting within two to three years of planting.
- Semi-dwarf, weeping canopy stays naturally compact at 15 to 20 ft., with striking ornamental appeal.
- Remarkably cold-hardy for an olive tree, tolerating temperatures down to 10°F to 15°F.
- Thrives in USDA hardiness zones 7-11 when grown outdoors but is popular for containers, patios with full sun
Few trees manage to be genuinely productive, legitimately beautiful, and practical enough for a home garden all at once. The Arbequina Olive (Olea europaea 'Arbequina') pulls it off without much effort. The graceful, weeping canopy draped in narrow silvery-green leaves has real ornamental presence, while the tree itself gets down to the business of producing fruit faster and more reliably than most other olives you can grow. Intrigued? Keep reading to see why you should buy the Arbequina olive online from perfect plants.
Fun Gardening Fact: Originally from the Catalonian village of Arbeca in Spain, this semi-dwarf variety has become one of the most widely planted olive cultivars in the world, and once you see one in person, it's easy to understand why
What Makes the Arbequina Olive Tree Special?
Fruit You Can Use: The small, dark olives that ripen in October and November are primarily valued for their oil — mild, buttery, and lightly fruity with none of the sharp bitterness found in more pungent varieties. With an oil content around 20 to 22%, these are legitimate pressing olives, and the fruit is edible as table olives as well. For the home grower, having a tree that produces real, usable harvests within a few years of planting is a significant part of the appeal.
Quick & Abundant Fruiting: Arbequina is one of the most precocious olive varieties available. This tree is often setting fruit within two to three years of planting, it does so with consistency year after year. The arbequina olive tree is self-pollinating. This means that they do not need another olive cultivar nearby to cross pollinate and bear fruit. A single tree will be fine on its own.
Ornamental Through Every Season. The weeping, arching branch structure gives Arbequina a sculptural quality that most fruit trees don't have. The silvery-green foliage holds year-round as an evergreen, small fragrant white flowers appear in spring, and the fruit transitions from green to deep purplish-black through the fall. It's a genuinely attractive tree across all four seasons.
Cold-Hardy for an Olive. Most olive trees are more tender than gardeners expect. Arbequina is a meaningful exception, handling temperatures down to about 10°F to 15°F — well below what most other olive cultivars can tolerate. This cold hardiness opens up a much wider range of planting zones than the typical Mediterranean olive.
Container and Patio Ready. The naturally compact size and flexible growth habit make Arbequina one of the best olive trees for large containers. Grown in a substantial pot on a sunny patio, it stays manageable, looks exceptional, and produces fruit without needing to be planted in the ground — an ideal setup for gardeners working with limited space or colder winters where portability matters.
How to Care for Your Arbequina Olive Tree
- Plant in full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily is non-negotiable for healthy growth and good fruit production.
- Arbequina adapts to a wide range of soil types, including alkaline and poor-quality soils, as long as drainage is good.
- The Olea Europaea ‘Arbequina’ can grow up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide at full maturity. If you plan to grow more than one of them, you’ll need to leave 15 to 20 feet of space between each full-grown arbequina olive tree.
- Water regularly through the first growing season to help the tree establish; once settled in, it handles dry spells with ease, though consistent watering through the fruiting period improves yield.
Growing Your Arbequina Olive in a Container
Container-grown olive trees need more frequent watering and benefit from an organic potting mix with proper drainage. Prune lightly to maintain shape and open up the canopy for airflow; heavy pruning is unnecessary and can reduce fruiting. Fertilize in early spring as new growth begins; our Liquid Fertilizer for Olive Trees is formulated specifically for olives and takes the guesswork out of feeding through the season

The book's title says it all - Highly recommended
Format: Hardcover
A very interesting read of a scientist (a neuroscientist) who began as a nonbeliever in anything outside of empirical, mainstream science. Her encounters with patients near death experiences (NDEs) during surgery slowly convinced her otherwise. She also had read Ian Stevenson's seminal work on reincarnation (published in the 1960s), and Raymond Moody's book (Published in the 1970s) on NDEs. She also came to believe that reincarnation and the spiritual realm are real, not fiction. Our earthly science is very far from understanding these aspects of reality. Scientists can't even explain consciousness
An excellent read. highly recommended..

A guidebook for escaping the rat race
Format: Kindle
This book provides a completely new way of looking at your job and potential residual income. It's a guide to help you shift your focus to your residual income which can set you free.
Our school system teaches kids that, until they're in their late teens or early 20s, they're going to spend their days in school and college. These habits of showing up and punching the clock (via attendance) are so ingrained by this point in life that few question whether there's another realistic option. And adults go into jobs that perpetuate this cycle of clocking in early in the morning and checking out late in the evening.
Timothy Ferris shows that it is indeed possible to escape this rat race. He shows a clear step-by-step plan to do so. And it's there for the taking if you're bold enough to grab the steering wheel of your life.
This is quite a comprehensive book discussing everything from your job transition to your travel, and how to set up your company and manage it without taking too much financial risk.
He talks about guarding your time, which I believe is one of the most valuable points in the book. He mentions throughout the book strategies to reduce getting caught up in time-wasting activities such as meetings, spending too much time on email at the wrong times, or wasting time on phone calls. He details out his techniques to keep distracting people on the sidelines while he's living his life and doing the things that his heart desires.
This book is an instruction manual for escaping the rat race. It's somewhat of a memoir, and a work in progress, of how he's doing it. He has examples throughout the book of how different people have applied his principles and changed their lives. He included a few people who had kids, which is great because a lot of people will use that excuse as a reason to not be able to do what he's doing.
He's so open in the book revealing how he takes care of many personal matters in his life, even down to giving his travel checklist and his preferred brand of underwear, relevant for people who want to travel light. He's probably one of the world's most eligible bachelors. That is, if he's willing to let someone get any time on his calendar? I like him. I'd love to run into him in a coffee shop in a foreign country and have some time to just chat with him.
He warns that some people really don't know what to do if they aren't working. This is a vital component of the book. He's going full-force at experiencing life in different cultures and getting involved in many different activities that give him new life experiences and perpetuate more new ways of thinking. It's important to know what to do when you are free. Otherwise you just have a vacuum of time which can feel like a boring retirement, where you're available, but all your friends and family are at work.
I'm a writer, so I wasn't interested in setting up another company, but he also addresses intellectual property and its intrinsic value. Despite the fact that I don't want to set up a product-based business, many of his strategies are completely applicable and I've begun to apply the techniques right away. Yesterday, I choose to schedule a quick phone call instead of an in-person meeting when the in-person meeting would have been much more time-consuming, for example. He reminded me that I really need to guard my writing time. I certainly can't spin out books on 4 hours a week, but I could if I were willing to farm out the writing activity. He gave me a whole new appreciation for time and what I do each day of my life.
If you're not satisfied with your work, or if you're searching for more ways to expand your income and free up your time, this book will be well worth your time. It's urgent for parents to put their kids in a different situation if they don't want them to get caught up in the same rat race that hasn't been fulfilling for them. If they change their own happiness level, it will certainly inspire their family and everyone they know as well.
I love the title--The 4-Hour Workweek. At first it seems so absurd, like how could anyone do that? Yet after I read the book, I have tremendous respect this man who is the architect of his own freedom. And he shares his path for others who want to follow.

Learn to live life now
I am a first time reviewer. I don't know Tim. I only know his book. That there are so many first time reviewers speaks volumes about the book. That said, here is my review:
It took a kid to get the grown-ups to acknowledge what everyone knew to be true: the emperor was naked. Tim Ferriss is a kid relative to most other "self-help" authors but, like the young boy in the fable, his simple, uncluttered collection of "information we already know" more explicitly and successfully states the truth: our idea of achievement that requires a slavish obsession with working ourselves into the ground is a naked religion. Success is joy.
Few books have the potential to inspire passion and fuel personal revolutions. The 4-Hour Workweek is one of them. This book speaks the common yearning to be liberated from the punishing work habits that our society has convinced us are compulsory for success. In simple, often humorous, terms, Tim Ferriss tells us how most of us lie to ourselves about why and how we work and shows us how we can become free.
The modern age promised to bring freedom to humanity. Automation would liberate us from the drudgery of many common tasks, allowing us to complete our work with lightening speed, reserving the rest of our time for leisure. Like millionaires who can afford servants to do the drudgery, the common person would be able to forget the mundane and engage in the profound, to travel, to explore, and most importantly, to be free of worry. Unfortunately, we humans forgot about freedom and became slaves to our machines. Machines increased productivity and the availability of things. We reacted by convincing ourselves that we had to have them all to be satisfied and so became slaves to the jobs we believed necessary to obtain those things. More recently, email and cell phones, which were intended to increase productivity and communication, did so by making us instantly accessible and required us to be instantly responsive at any time of the day or night. Cable television and the Internet also increased communications and the flow of information, but also resulted in an information bombardment that left us catatonic, unable to disengage, yet unable to absorb it all. The result? At the end of our working lives - many times not by our own choice but because of downsizing and outsourcing -- exhausted and demoralized, we cannot enjoy the delayed gratification that has been our beacon of light, our holy grail, for so many years.
Tim Ferris has the audacity to set the whole paradigm on fire in order to illuminate its true nature. Tim questions our assumptions about what progress is and what progress has done for us by highlighting the terrific costs we have imposed on ourselves. With gleeful delight Tim opens our eyes to the fact that we have become the cyborgs, less human rather than more. In a clear, step-by-step fashion, he presents elegant concepts and applies them to life in practical ways that have profound results. He reminds us that "the opposite of happiness is not sadness but boredom" and employs Pareto's 80/20 principle to demonstrate how we can identify those aspects of our lives that hold us back from being happy. He urges us to understand that life is not about the acquisition of things for later enjoyment, life is about happiness, fulfillment in the present, rather than in some un-promised future. Unfettered by useless jargon and overly academic presentation, Tim demonstrates how we can return to sanity and achieve happiness by finally becoming masters over the technology that was supposed to free us. He challenges us to give ourselves permission to quit the rat race and rejoin the human race. These ideas are not entirely new, but Tim's particular expression of them is like sparkling water to the parched souls of millions who now labor incessantly to achieve success yet yearn to quench their thirst for freedom. You don't have to be a millionaire to live a millionaire lifestyle, Tim says. Do you have a dream? Live it now.

Amazing book, unnecessary expansion
Format: Hardcover
If you haven't read the original version - the 4-hour Workweek books is for many one of the most important books they've ever read, including me.
For those who have read the original - the revised version is an improvement on the original, but not a big enough one to justify a second purchase if you've already read the book before.
I've read this book and taken action on just a few of the principles and it has greatly improved my life, and you can easily do the same with the content from this book.
Why?
First, almost of the content in the book includes not only the general idea of doing something (like liberating yourself from an oppressive workplace), but also practical tips on how to actually do it. Even if only one section really relates to you that alone is enormously valuable and justifies the entire price.
Second, the book espouses a 'lifestyle' philosophy which had many points that I had not really considered before reading the original edition. No, it isn't the idea of a 4 hour workweek. Tim Ferriss in makes it extremely clear that a 4 hour work week without anything to replace that fre time leaves you feeling empty inside. The point is to change your life or build systems that let you minimize the stuff you hate doing to only 4 hours a week.
To free up your time up from doing things you hate he provides practical tips on: optimizing your work, setting up remote work agreements, automating it through designing systems, or outsourcing it to a Virtual Assistant. After that, he provides ideas of what to do once you've generated so much free time; because, most of us think we know what to do if we didn't work but it's only on an abstract level not a practical plan. Examples of replacement activities: traveling the world, creating 'charities' or other things that give back to the community, or simply setting up companies that earn money promoting the things you love. From a basic glance all of these ideas might sound trite or obvious, but the difference with the book is that he gives practical advice on how to actually make them all happen.
I don't think I have yet read a better single book for changing your life into a fulfilling entrepreneurial lifestyle. If you were interested enough to even look at the reviews for the book just go buy the book already - at least something in the book will resonate enough to justify the purchase.
As a side note: I notice a lot of recent reviews complaining about the author's writing style. Honestly, the book is easy to read and the content is amazing. Even if you completely hated the author's style (I think their complaints are hugely exaggerated) you can still learn plenty of things to adapt to your life. As for the honesty of his stories just check out his blog which has plenty of transparency and video proof of many of the things claimed.

Plus the title made it sound like it belonged on an infomercial and not in my ...
Format: Hardcover
I had seen the uber-orange cover of The 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss all over: Bookstores (duh!), backseats of cars, airplane terminals, frat houses and more. Yet despite its proliferation into the hands (and Kindles) of millions of people all over the world, and its catchy headline, I had yet to read it. In fact, I had no inclination to read it whatsoever.
Quite frankly, I had no idea what it was about. Plus the title made it sound like it belonged on an infomercial and not in my book collection.
Things changed when I started listening to the Tim Ferriss Show podcast just a few weeks ago. The podcast is fantastic and I haven’t been able to stop listening to it; I highly recommend it.
From what I’ve noticed, if I enjoy reading someone’s articles or website, I generally enjoy their podcasts (the same holds true vice-versa). So when I saw that it was available for only $1.99 on Kindle I didn’t hesitate one bit.
Can I really only work 4 hours?
That’s what everyone wants to know. For the most part, no it is not feasible for most. In fact, Tim repeats in his podcasts and presumably other mediums that The 4 Hour Workweek is not to be taken literally. Rather, it drives the point home of what the book is really about: Optimizing your time, eliminating distractions, and finding passive streams of income to allow you to do minimal work while having maximum freedom.
It’s a solid concept. In fact, there really is little basis for the traditional 9-5 schedule:
How is it possible that all the people in the world need exactly 8 hours to accomplish their work? It isn’t. 9– 5 is arbitrary.”
The idea behind this book is to essentially turn the idea of working hard on its head:
Being busy is a form of laziness— lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective— doing less— is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.”
Many books of this nature are simply filled with fluff, woo-woo, and other law of attraction platitudes, but The 4 Hour Workweek is absolutely filled to the brim with productivity tips. This makes the book worth the price of admission alone (that goes for the full price hardcover too!)
There are a few concepts that he really stresses throughout the book and that will allow you to eliminate and optimize.
The first of which is the 80/20 principle, also known as the Pareto Principle. This principle states that 80% of results (profit, happiness etc.) comes from 20% of output. Once Tim discovered this principle, he applied it to his nutritional supplement company so that he could focus on the select few clients that brought him the bulk of his income, and to eliminate the pesky customers who were nothing but trouble.
Sure, it cost him some income, but it allowed him to reduce his stress exponentially and freed up a plethora of time.
A second major principle is Parkinson’s law, which states:
… that a task will swell in (perceived) importance and complexity in relation to the time allotted for its completion. It is the magic of the imminent deadline. If I give you 24 hours to complete a project, the time pressure forces you to focus on execution, and you have no choice but to do only the bare essentials. If I give you a week to complete the same task, it’s six days of making a mountain out of a molehill.”
The best approach to Parkinson’s Law is to
1. Limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/ 20).
2. Shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (Parkinson’s Law). The best solution is to use both together: Identify the few critical tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines.”
There are a plethora of other tidbits of wisdom throughout, such as:
Check e-mail twice per day, once at 12: 00 noon or just prior to lunch, and again at 4: 00 P.M.
At least three times per day at scheduled times [ask] the following question: Am I being productive or just active?
More is not better, and stopping something is often 10 times better than finishing it.
Getting Your Own Personal Assistant
One of the most engaging and laughable topics in the book was the chapter on virtual assistants (VA). I say laughable because it’s actually incredibly feasible to have a 3rd world virtual assistant, and I couldn’t help myself from laughing at the idea of having a team of Indians heeding my every beck and call.
Consider this:
If you spend your time, worth $ 20-25 per hour, doing something that someone else will do for $ 10 per hour…”
Makes sense. Plus there are other good reasons to consider getting a VA:
Getting a remote personal assistant is a huge departure point and marks the moment that you learn how to give orders and be commander instead of the commanded. It is small-scale training wheels for the most critical of NR skills: remote management and communication.”
The Original Internet Entrepeneur
When I began to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, I noticed something: I had read this before. But it wasn’t because Aurelius was plagiarizing content 2000 years in the future, rather it was the inverse.
I’ve noticed this phenomena with The 4 Hour Workweek in that much of the content seemed all too familiar with the Digital Nomad and lifestyle design communities and advice of today. But seeing as it was written originally in 2007, one could say it was the first of its kind.
In fact, the proliferation of internet entrepreneurs are likely a result of this book.
On that note, look where Tim Ferris is today. He’s not lounging on a beach in Guatemala making money off his supplements. Rather, he’s busting his ass in Silicon Valley helping startups turn into massive success stories.
This is no fault of his; I just think many readers of this book and these internet entrepreneurs lose sight of this. They get caught in finding ‘passive income’ and settling for 1-3K a month; just enough to make do in a foreign country of their choice.
This is what I wanted for so long, but now this doesn’t seem like enough. I’d much rather be doing what Tim is doing now as opposed to what he recommend in his book.
Don’t Follow This Book Like the Gospel
Again, the 4 Hour Workweek isn’t designed to be taken literally. This is a pattern throughout the book.
In fact, much of the information regarding internet marketing and asking a boss for a remote work agreement is completely useless for me and may be for you. Yet, overall I was really impressed with the book. There was plenty of solid, actionable advice throughout. In fact, I’ve already marked this book down as one I will have to read again to internalize the concepts that stood out to me.
