Description
A beautifully shaped olive tree with a neat clear stem and a full, leafy head, bringing instant structure and Mediterranean character to patios, courtyards, and sunny garden spaces. Elegant yet easy to place, these quarter standards are ideal for adding height, softness, and year-round presence without taking up too much room.
With their silver-green evergreen foliage and naturally graceful shape, olive trees have a timeless quality that works just as well in contemporary settings as in more relaxed, country-style gardens. These plants may be smaller in scale than the larger specimens, but they still have wonderful presence and beautifully formed heads.

Growing conditions
Olive trees thrive in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil. They are especially well suited to container growing, where their shape and evergreen foliage can be enjoyed up close throughout the year.
What makes this batch special
These olives have been selected for their good-sized girth and lovely well-formed heads, giving them a strong, balanced look. As with all olive trees, there can be some natural variation in shape, which only adds to their charm and individuality.
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
Olive trees are brilliant for adding calm structure to a space. Use them in pairs to frame a doorway, or as a single focal point in a beautiful pot. In Ireland, they’ll be happiest in the sunniest, most sheltered spot you can give them, with good drainage through winter.
