Browse olive trees for sale in standard, cloud-trained and lollipop forms. Our current range includes a 160–180cm Olea europaea olive tree, sculptural cloud olive trees and a shaped lollipop olive tree. Their silvery-green evergreen foliage and distinctive forms make them suitable for pots, patios, courtyards and statement planting. Compare each live product’s dimensions, shape, growing information and price to choose an olive tree suited to your available space and preferred garden style.
Olive trees, botanically known as Olea europaea, are evergreen trees recognised for their silvery-green foliage and distinctive Mediterranean character. They can be grown as naturally shaped trees or trained into more architectural forms, making them suitable for traditional, contemporary and Mediterranean-inspired planting.
The current Urban Hedges range includes a standard olive tree, cloud-trained specimens and a lollipop form. The best choice depends on the space available, whether the tree will be grown in a container or the ground, and whether you prefer natural growth or a more structured shape.
The Olea europaea olive tree is the most natural-looking option in the current range. It is listed at approximately 160–180cm and can be grown as a specimen tree in a suitable container or planted in the ground. Its product page describes a typical annual growth rate of approximately 20–40cm under suitable conditions.
For a more sculptural focal point, choose a cloud-trained olive tree. The Cloud Olive Tree XL and Cloud Olive Tree XXL have been shaped into defined sections of foliage. These substantial specimens are intended as individual statement plants rather than ordinary, untrained olive trees.
The Lollipop Olive Tree provides another trained form in a smaller listed starting height. Its structured appearance can suit patios, entrances and areas where a clearly defined ornamental tree is preferred.
Cloud and lollipop olive trees are shaped ornamental plants, so they should also be discoverable through the Topiary collection. They should remain in the Olive Trees category because customers also search by plant type.
Yes, olive trees can be grown in UK gardens when they are given a suitable position and appropriate care. Current product guidance recommends a bright position with good drainage and advises protecting containers during periods of severe frost.
Olive trees can be grown in containers or planted in the ground. Containers provide more flexibility over positioning, while ground planting requires a suitable permanent location with enough space for the tree’s intended form.
Site conditions vary, so consult the selected product page before planting. Avoid assuming that every olive tree will respond identically, particularly when comparing a naturally shaped tree with a trained cloud or lollipop form.
Yes. Olive trees can be grown in pots, provided the container is appropriately sized and has effective drainage. The current product instructions recommend using a container wider than the root ball, keeping the base free-draining and avoiding standing water.
A potted olive tree will require ongoing monitoring because container compost can dry out or become waterlogged more quickly than surrounding soil. The container may also need additional protection in severe winter weather.
When choosing a pot, account for the tree’s current root ball, overall weight and future growth. Larger cloud-trained olive trees may require more planning for delivery, positioning and long-term stability than a smaller lollipop form.
“Large” normally refers to a tree’s current supplied dimensions. “Mature” can describe its age, trunk development or overall appearance, but the term is not used consistently across retailers.
Compare the stated height, form, pot or root information, photographs and product description rather than relying on “mature” alone. Cloud-trained trees may look more established because of their shaped canopies and developed structure, but their exact dimensions should still be checked on the individual product page.
Images are useful for understanding the general form, although individual living plants will naturally vary in shape and appearance.
The standard olive-tree product page mentions the possibility of planting olive trees in rows for screening. However, the current range is primarily suited to specimen and ornamental planting rather than being a dedicated hedging collection.
Customers seeking a conventional, continuous boundary should compare the purpose-grown plants in the Hedging category. This keeps “olive trees for sale” and ornamental olive-tree intent separate from core hedge-plant searches.
Use the product listings above to compare the live range, current prices and available forms. Check the product dimensions carefully and consider access to the intended planting position, particularly when ordering a substantial cloud-trained specimen.
The Urban Hedges offers UK delivery subject to its current shipping information, as well as collection from the nursery in Doncaster. For help confirming dimensions, access requirements or the suitability of a particular form, contact The Urban Hedges before ordering.
