Olea Europea Olive Tree

Olea Europea (the Olive Tree) is an evergreen rounded tree with grey-green leathery leaves and tiny fragrant, creamy white flowers followed by edible green fruits ripening to black. The flowers appear from June to August and the fruits develop in August. In terms of aspect, Olive Trees need to be planted in a full sun position. They are frost hardy and prefer well-draining soil. They will do well in a large pot or container.

Our more mature Olive trees in particular are very popular with customers wanting an instant garden effect. With their gnarly trunks and wide trunk girth, they can appear to have ‘always been there’ in the garden landscape.

Our specimen Olive trees are frost hardy, tolerating cold winter temperatures.
