Product Description
Compact, evergreen & authentically Mediterranean—these premium Olea europaea plants bring silver-green foliage, early fruit & timeless character to patios, balconies & small gardens.
You can choose from two beautifully grown forms: Mini Olive Tree – a sculptural standard with a clean trunk & rounded crown, perfect for entrances, patios & container focal points, OR Mini Olive Bush – a naturally multi-stemmed, fuller shrub ideal for terraces, balconies & Mediterranean-style groupings.
Both forms display narrow, elongated leaves in classic olive tones—dark green above and shimmering silver beneath. From May to June, each plant produces clusters of pale white-green mignola flowers, followed by small ovoid fruits that ripen from green to yellow, purple & eventually deep purplish-black in autumn. Compact in size yet rich in ornamental detail, these olives grow 50–90 cm depending on the form, offering evergreen structure, soft movement & a genuine Mediterranean feel even in cooler climates.
Supplied as healthy, fresh & fully established 15cm potted plants, each olive arrives well-rooted, leafy and already carrying developing flower buds or early fruit. Grown by specialist growers, both the tree and bush forms are carefully shaped and nurtured for strong establishment and instant patio impact. Simply position in full sun, water moderately and use a free-draining mix enriched with expanded clay to keep roots healthy. Light pruning maintains shape while feeding during the growing season supports flowering and fruiting.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What's the best compost for my flower bulbs?
We would recommend a compost that contains nutrients that last up to 6 months to promote strong, healthy roots, and often includes a wetting agent to improve water retention and drainage for a vibrant spring display.
Here's the perfect one: Click Here
How can I prevent my bulbs from rotting and ensure they bloom again?
Bulbs rot in wet soil! You must have light, well-drained soil. Work compost or organic matter 8-12 inches deep into the planting bed to ensure rapid drainage and aeration.
Plant most bulbs in full sun or part sun for the long-term energy recharge.
What is the most critical step for getting flowers next year after the current blooms fade?
Do not cut the foliage (leaves) after the flower dies. The green leaves need approximately 8 weeks to yellow and brown naturally. This post-bloom period is when the bulb recharges its energy (carbohydrates) for next year’s flower. Cutting them early causes bloom failure!
How deep should I plant my bulbs?
Plant bulbs roughly three times as deep as the bulb’s height (e.g., a 2-inch tall bulb should be planted 6 inches deep). This depth provides crucial thermal protection.
You'll find the exact specifications on the bulbs page/
Do you ship to Northern Ireland or the EU?
At present, we’re unable to ship to Northern Ireland due to post-Brexit regulations. The additional paperwork and costs involved would make it too expensive for customers.
We hope this situation will change in the near future.
