Product Description
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 5L 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.

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.
