Olea Europaea / Olive Pom pom Plates

280.00

Description

Sculptural, elegant, and full of Mediterranean character, Olea europaea trained in a pom pom form with layered plates rather than rounded balls is a striking statement plant for the garden. With its beautifully shaped evergreen foliage and strong architectural silhouette, it brings instant structure and a calm, refined presence to any sunny space.
This trained form feels a little more contemporary and artisanal than the traditional ball shape. The layered plates create a softer, more cloud-like effect, giving the plant movement and rhythm while still keeping that clipped, considered look. At 160cm+, it has real presence from the moment it is planted, making it ideal where you want an established focal point.

Why we love it

  • Beautifully trained form with layered plate-like shaping
  • Evergreen silver-green foliage with timeless Mediterranean appeal
  • Strong architectural presence from the moment it is planted
  • A more refined, sculptural alternative to traditional pom pom balls
  • Perfect for courtyards, terraces, and statement planting

Best spot in the garden

Olea europaea thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil in a warm, sheltered position. It is especially well suited to courtyards, gravel gardens, terraces, and large containers where its shape can really be appreciated.
It works especially well for:
  • Mediterranean-style gardens
  • Courtyard planting
  • Sunny patios and terraces
  • Statement pots and containers
  • Contemporary or formal garden schemes

What to expect

Supplied in a trained pom pom form with layered plates, this olive tree has a more open, sculptural silhouette than a standard rounded topiary shape. At 160cm+, it offers instant height and structure, making it a strong focal point in the garden.
Its soft silver-green foliage keeps the look light and elegant, while the trained form brings a sense of craftsmanship and maturity.

Caragh’s Garden Notebook

Olive trees have a wonderful way of making a space feel settled and sun-warmed, and this trained form adds another level of design detail. The plate-like shaping feels softer and more architectural than traditional balls, making it especially beautiful in contemporary spaces or paired with gravel, stone, and simple underplanting.

A lovely choice if you want…

  • A sculptural olive tree with a more refined trained shape
  • Evergreen structure with Mediterranean character
  • A statement plant for a sunny terrace or courtyard
  • Instant height and architectural presence
