I'd look at it this way:
- The climate isn't especially harsh. If we had details we could
compare them to real world areas that grow olives......but so what?
Who says that Gloranthan olives can't be just a little bit hardier
than their terrestrial counterparts?
- Will having olive trees grow there strain people's suspension of
disbelief?
- Do you want olive trees growing there in your game?
If the answer to 3 is yes, and the answer to 2 is no, then who cares
about 1!
Having said all that, if they have them at all I'd put them in
southern portions of Esrolia, where the climate is most moderated by
the sea, but not right along the coast where it might tend to be more
misty and soggy, since _my_ mental image of olive trees is in areas
that are mostly sunny most of the time.
