Olive trees (olea europaea) are a hardy and evergreen tree, which combined with their delicate and ornamental foliage makes them a very versatile option to incorporate in all styles of outdoor space design: their formal and organic structure can be used to create interest and a focal point, but equally as they are perfect for planting next to each other as a natural all-year-round green screen.

Native to the mediterranean Olive trees are are ideal for planting in pots/urns on your terrace or outdoor space. We recommend planting them in a suitably sized pot/urn with a potting mix of equal multi purpose compost, John Innes no 3, slow release fertiliser and plenty of gravel for drainage.

Olive trees planted in the UK can produce olives if given plenty of sun following at least three months of cold weather, but this cannot be guaranteed as they are used to warmer and drier climates.

While Olive trees are hardy they should be protected from prolonged cold winter winds and extreme frosts. Frost blankets can be purchased from numerous online retailers.

NOTE: All our trees are imported from the Mediterranean and are certified Xylella free.
