More About Olive Trees

Why Olive Trees Thrive in the UK

Once they have established, olive trees can tolerate temperatures below freezing in a sheltered, south-facing position. The evergreen foliage remains full of colour year-round and good tolerance of poor, free-draining soils make them a dependable option for any garden. With the right care - plenty of sun, good drainage and protection from cold winds - they settle in well and provide years of steady, elegant growth.

Perfect for Pots, Patios and Small Gardens

Because they grow slowly and stay naturally compact, olive trees thrive in containers. Plant in a large pot with good drainage and place it in a sun-soaked position with occasional feeding in spring. Standard olives add height and structure, while bushy forms bring softer texture to borders, courtyards and balconies. Frame an entrance with a pair of olives to give your home an instant Mediterranean feel.

Low-Maintenance Beauty With a Timeless Appeal

Once they have settled in, olive trees need very little care. Prune them once a year in late spring to keep the canopy neat, while an annual feed or light mulch will keep them healthy and thriving. Our collection caters for every space, whether you're looking for a patio feature or a natural focal point.
