Olea europaea ‘Eddy’s Winter Wonder’ Hardy Olive Tree, unlike most olive trees, is reportedly hardy to garden hardiness zone 6. It was originally discovered in Switzerland.
I WANT to grow this!!!
For 2018, I have found one possible source: specimentrees.com in Canada. They only sell wholesale, so you would have to contact your local nursery or landscaper to order one.

Were you ever able to get an Eddy’s Winter Wonder tree?
Sadly, no. I searched for a long time, and still keep an eye out, but haven’t been able to find one.
