Olea Europaea Standard Olive Tree

The Olea Europaea Standard Olive Tree is a long-lived and hardy plant that adds timeless ornamental appeal to garden displays. A symbol of peace and wisdom, these trees add a feeling of serenity to the garden and will thrive planted in containers or in the ground.

Available in a choice of three sizes, all with magnificent silvery green foliage and a wonderful, elegant silhouette, they create a striking focal point when planted in a container to admire on a patio or at the front of a doorway. They also look wonderful planted in the ground alongside Mediterranean companions such as lavender and thyme or blue grasses such as Festuca glauca, filling your garden with wonderful beauty.

Alongside its striking foliage and elegant form, this tree has delightful white flowers, which if the sun shines enough will turn to fruit, adding to its appeal and beauty throughout the seasons.

These easy to grow plants will thrive when positioned in a sheltered, but sunny spot in free draining soil. Ensure your Olive Tree is kept well-watered, particularly in the first year and if it has been planted in a container. During particularly cold winters add a layer of insulation to protect from frosts. You will then enjoy many years of beauty from this long-lived and easy to grow tree.
