Whether grown in the ground or in a large, terracotta pot, olives are a beautiful and relatively easy-going backyard tree. Their silvery leaves shimmer in the sun, lending a Mediterranean vibe to any space, and they also have the benefit of being drought-tolerant once established.

The good news is, these evergreens can be propagated via semi-hardwood and hardwood cuttings, and the process is more straightforward than you might expect.
