This extra-large, chunky-trunked, heavy-duty specimen boasts a gorgeous, dense, bushy crown of attractive silvery foliage that’s sure to add a Mediterranean vibe to any outdoor space.
Whether you’re planting directly into the garden, adding to an existing border or transplanting into a terracotta planter, this tree retains its elegant, grey-green leaves all year. It’s tiny, fragrant, creamy-white flowers first appear during the summer, which then become ample green edible fruit in the Autumn, ripening to black as we head deeper into the season.
This well-established olive tree promises to make an immediate and impressive impact on your garden. It’s fully hardy, ensuring it can withstand any condition, from droughts to harsh UK winters. With proper care, these long-living trees are likely to continue to thrive for decades.
Arriving at a height of 2 metres, with a 1.3-metre head of foliage and a trunk girth of a whopping 60cm at the time of delivery, these trees are set to just keep getting bigger and better over time, becoming more characterful as the trunk develops its noteworthy gnarled bark.
They’re perfect for a sunny, Greek-style garden and will happily settle in any sun-drenched part of your outdoor space. Although they’re slow-growing, with a nice stem and attractive silvery leaves, you can now admire the iconic Mediterranean tree from your own backyard. It’s set to transport you back to your favourite holidays on the continent.
