Description

Why we love it

There’s something instantly calming about an olive tree — silvery foliage that catches the light, a sculptural silhouette, and that timeless Mediterranean feel that makes a space look “finished” in one move. These are proper character trees, with beautifully gnarled, aged trunks and a soft, airy canopy that brings texture without heaviness.

Size

  • Trunk height: 60–80cm
  • Overall height: approx. 180–200cm
  • Form: Mature specimen with naturally gnarled trunk and rounded head
  • Please note: Each tree is an individual — trunk shape, movement and canopy density will vary from specimen to specimen.

Best for

  • Instant Mediterranean style on patios, terraces and around pools or outdoor kitchens
  • Framing entrances and doorways (pairing beautifully either side)
  • Courtyards and gravel gardens
  • Contemporary planting schemes where you want structure all year round
  • Large containers (a brilliant option if you want impact without planting into the ground)

Growing conditions

Olives love sun and a free-draining soil/compost. They’re very tolerant once established, but they don’t enjoy sitting wet over winter — drainage is everything, especially in pots. In Ireland and the UK, a sheltered, sunny spot will always give the best results.

What makes this batch special

This batch has that rare, instant “old tree” presence — thick, mature trunks with deep fissures, burrs and natural twists that can only come with time. Every specimen is genuinely unique.
