The aims of this research are to identify the topographic river proximity characteristics most suited to wild olive trees in the Al Bahah region, Saudi Arabia. This study successfully identified the river proximity preferred by wild olive distribution. The results of the study show that the concentration of wild olive decreases as we move away from the river, indicating river proximity as a prominent landform preference. This exhibits that the distribution appears almost parallel at the landform. About 91.2% of wild olive are found at a distance of less than 600m from the river. However, there is no significant difference in the crown size and neighboring species that can be related to river proximity. These findings can be regarded as theoretically potential for a landform suitable for olive plantation. As the basis for olive plantation site suitability, these factors are the essential prerequisites that need to be considered. However, it is obvious that site suitability is subject to the temporal dynamics of environmental variables.
