Olea europaea (Pot Size 18L) Olive Tree

Olea europaea is a magnificent Mediterranean tree prized for its elegant silvery-green foliage that catches the light beautifully throughout the year. Evergreen narrow leaves with a leathery texture create year-round architectural interest in any sheltered garden, courtyard or large container.
Small white flowers appear in spring and summer, though fruiting in the UK is not reliably guaranteed. The tree is notably drought-tolerant once established and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Its slow growth rate and minimal maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a long-lived, sophisticated focal point.
Hardy to -10°C, it performs best in warm, sheltered positions and benefits from protection during severe winters. This is a tree that rewards patience with decades of structural interest and quiet elegance.
