Olive trees grow this far south.

For a dimension on Australian history grow the St Helena, during the 1800’s Australia shipped olive oil to Italy.

Make sure the tree will receive at least 6 hours of full sun a day all year round. High humidity particularly in summer will promote fungal diseases, so choose an open spot with plenty of air circulation. Olives will grow well in a wide range of soils, as long as the drainage is good.

In Melbourne they grow more slowly because the growing season is shorter and the conditions are cooler.
