A Tree Of Majestic Proportions
The Morrut (also called "Morruda") is native to the northeastern Spanish regions of Tarragona and Castellón, where the climate is defined by heavier than average rainfall and wide temperature swings from summer to winter.
In terms of size, the stately subtropical evergreen is in the medium to large range for mature olive trees, with a broadly spreading stance that make it perfect as a view-blind or as part of a shade arbor.
Aesthetically Pleasing By Nature
But whatever the specific horticultural application you choose for your tree, the Morrut’s aesthetic value as a “natural artwork” makes it popular in the world of luxury landscaping.
Its dark green leaves are elliptical in shape and slightly twisted, creating a ‘dancing in the wind’ effect with the slightest breeze and providing a dynamic element that starkly contrasts the tree’s firmly rooted stature.
Feast For The Eyes And The Palate
Besides its stunning ornamental qualities, Morrut owners enjoy boasting rights that their ‘masterpiece of nature’ is also one of the most sought-after cultivars among olive oil producers due to its exceptionally high fruit yield and oil content.

Superhero-like Resilience To Natural Threats
This means Morrut's highly favorable characteristics as a fruit producer contribute significantly to the tree’s strong resistance to common tree diseases and insect pests, along with its ability to thrive in poor soil prolonged drought conditions.
The bottom line: The Morrut olive tree is beautiful, robust and a smart, low-maintenance option for the discerning luxury landscaping enthusiast.
