Tropical treats for your garden. Olive trees are garden classics for introducing a welcome feel of the Mediterranean. These standards are ornately grown and fashioned, with a ball head of foliage and a straight stem.

Tough and hardy in conditions down to -8C, with evergreen grey-green foliage. Dainty creamy flowers emerge in spring and may produce small olive fruits when summer conditions are particularly hot and dry, allowing for plenty of ripening time. Low maintenance, easy to grow, and very slow growing, ideal for smaller spaces or busy gardeners.

All our Olives are sourced from specialist growers who are regularly inspected and tested for plant pests and diseases, including the new disease threat Xylella. We do not source Olives from High Risk areas. This is followed by further checks and inspections on our own Lincs nursery by DEFRA.

Magnificent gift plants for a loved one, arriving already gift wrapped in brown hessian bags with green fabric bows.

Supplied as a pair of established standards in 18cm pots, approximately 80cm tall and gift wrapped, ready to plant or gift.

Top Tips
Olive trees need the sunniest spot available in your garden to encourage your next crop of fruit.
Care Information
  • If planting in a container, use a loam-based compost with the addition of about 20 per cent grit to help with drainage. If planting in the garden, add grit to the planting hole to improve drainage.
  • Pot grown plants should be transferred to a slightly larger pot each spring.
  • Olive Trees are hardy but they benefit from winter protection. Small potted plants can be moved inside, while outside plants can be bubble-wrapped around the pot and fleece used to protect the canopy.
  • Although drought tolerant, pot-grown olives must be watered regularly and not be allowed to dry out.
  • Clip trees occasionally to keep their shape.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

If you have ordered a 'pre-order' item, these will be sent out as soon as possible after the quoted dispatch date and we generally ship your entire order with any pre-ordered items. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an email with details on how you can track it.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, we will not require a signature on delivery, and we ask out couriers to leave your item in a safe place ad your delivery address.

If you have delivery instruction and require our courier to leave your item in a specific place, please let us know - there is an option to leave a message for the courier at the checkout.

For smaller and single-item orders, we may send these via the post with Royal Mail - Tracking will not be available for orders sent via this method.
