Description

A heartfelt gesture wrapped in timeless style. With a spiral stem and silvery evergreen leaves, this miniature Olive Tree is brimming with Mediterranean character and seasonal charm.

The ideal living gift for a loved one, or treat for your own garden, delivered in a terracotta-effect pot, tucked into a hessian bag and tied with a red satin bow. It looks the part from the moment it arrives, no planting or wrapping needed, and it fits beautifully into even smaller garden spots. Whether on a doorstep, balcony, or sunny windowsill, this tree looks stylish.

Olive trees are wonderfully easy-going, and once established, they thrive outdoors in a pot for years to come. It brings structure to patios, and can be brought indoors for winter, before moving back outside once the sun returns. More than a gift, it's a lasting reminder of thoughtfulness and beauty.

Supplied as an established Olive Tree, approximately 80cm tall including the decorative 21cm terracotta-effect pot, gift wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a red satin bow.

Top Tips

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

Care Information

When planting in a pot, 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 hole.
Pot-grown plants should be transferred to a slightly larger pot each spring. Avoid overpotting by only moving to a container 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.
