Bring Mediterranean charm to your outdoor space with an evergreen olive tree standing tall on a slender stem and set in a decorative grey planter, perfect for patios, balconies or framing entrances. You'll enjoy its grey-green foliage year-round and, with the right care, might even see fragrant flowers and smooth green fruits in hot summers. Supplied as an 80 to 90cm standard tree in an 18cm pot, it's easy to grow in containers or sheltered garden spots and comes with straightforward aftercare advice to help you nurture your tree through every season. How to Grow: In very mild areas, they can be planted directly into neutral to alkaline garden soil in a warm, sheltered position. Avoid very fertile soils, which may encourage leaf growth at the expense of fruit. Aftercare: Keep the base weed-free and mulch in spring with compost or manure to retain moisture. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first few years. Prune lightly in late spring or early summer to shape and encourage new growth. Container-grown trees should be moved to a sheltered position or cold greenhouse in winter. Young plants benefit from frost protection in colder months.
