Olive Tree

Mediterranean elegance, year-round structure & the promise of home-grown olives—this refined olive tree brings timeless character to patios, entrances & sunny gardens.

This premium standard olive tree is supplied with a clean, upright stem and a neatly shaped rounded crown of narrow, lanceolate evergreen leaves—deep green above and silvery beneath. In late spring and early summer, the tree produces clusters of small, creamy-white mignola flowers that may develop into green olives, slowly ripening through yellow-green to purple by autumn. Standing approximately 100–120 cm tall, it creates an instant architectural focal point with its classic silver-green canopy, Mediterranean silhouette and naturally sculptural form.

Supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established olive tree in its 3L nursery pot, this is not a small starter plant. It arrives well-rooted, professionally staked and outdoor garden ready, grown in premium peat-free compost for strength and long-term resilience. Once planted in a sunny, well-drained position, olive trees are remarkably easy to care for—thriving with minimal maintenance, needing only occasional watering in dry spells and light pruning to maintain their standard shape. With proper care, they reward with years of evergreen beauty, fragrant blossom and the satisfying pleasure of growing your own olives.
