Description

A low maintenance and easy to grow garden treat! Enjoy a warm Mediterranean feel in your garden with this standard olive! Olive trees are tough and hardy in UK conditions down to -8C. With neat, shapely, evergreen grey-green foliage, this tree is perfect for a border or patio pot and will also look great in a pot.

Small creamy flowers emerge in spring, which self-pollinate, and may produce small olive fruits when summer conditions are particularly hot and dry, allowing for plenty of ripening time. Olives are low maintenance, easy to grow, and very slow growing, ideal for small gardens or busy gardeners. Great value and will add a touch of class to your patio!

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.

A magnificent gift plant for a loved one, arriving already gift wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.

Supplied as an established standard in a 18cm pot, roughly 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.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. 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.

**Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
