Description

Picture-perfect Olive Trees that look outstanding on patios, decking, and balconies. Evergreen foliage brings a Mediterranean holiday feel regardless of the month. The trunks have been expertly formed into attractive spirals, while the leaves boast silvery undersides, for a two-tone effect.

These olives come with terracotta-like plastic pots for classic Tuscan style, making them perfect gifts to give and receive - put them straight outside or onto a bright windowsill for an instant Italian look.

Growing these easy-to-care-for Olive Trees in pots is a great solution, ensuring even the smallest city garden or balcony can accommodate them! You get to locate your olives in the best possible location regardless of soil, plus you can take them with you if you move - your investment is secure! These can be overwintered as houseplants, but we do recommend they spend time outdoors in summer to benefit from the warm conditions.

Supplied as a pair of 80cm tall Olive Trees, including the pots, fashioned into a standard form with decorative terracotta-effect plastic pots.

Top Tips

Place your potted Olive Trees in the sunniest spot available in the garden to encourage a crop of fruit to emerge.

Care Information

When planting in pots, use a loam-based compost, adding roughly 20 per cent grit to boost drainage. If planting in the garden, instead add the grit to the planting holes.
Pot-grown plants should be transferred to slightly larger pots each spring. Avoid overpotting by only moving to containers roughly 5cm larger in diameter than the existing one.
Olive Trees are hardy but benefit from some winter protection. Small potted plants can be moved inside or left in the garden with bubble wrap or other insullation material applied to the pot. Use fleece cover to protect the canopy of the plant.
Although drought tolerant, pot-grown olives must be watered regularly and not be allowed to dry out.
Clip trees occasionally to retain a consistent standard shape.
