Description
Bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden with the Olea europaea Olive Tree, a stunning evergreen known for its graceful silvery-green foliage and timeless appeal. Standing between 160cm and 180cm tall, this olive tree makes an elegant focal point, whether grown in a container on a sunny patio or planted directly into the ground.
Olive trees thrive in a variety of soils including normal, clay, or chalk, and adapt well to both inland and coastal locations. Preferring a position in full sun, they can also tolerate semi-shade, making them versatile for many garden settings. With an average annual growth of 20–40cm, they are easy to manage and can be maintained at a practical height of 1–4m depending on your preference.
Loved for their year-round evergreen foliage, olive trees bring structure and colour even in the cooler months. Their iconic form adds instant character, making them equally suitable as a statement specimen, planted in rows for screening, or incorporated into a Mediterranean-style border.
Low maintenance and long-lived, the Olea europaea is perfect for gardeners seeking beauty, resilience, and a touch of southern charm in their outdoor space.
