Description
These 100cm standard olive trees are perfect for pot planting or even planting in the ground! Olive trees are evergreen and will add that Mediterranean touch to the garden. Plant these olives in a sunny position and with well drained soil they will thrive.
Olive trees typically do not need a lot of care and are perfectly happy being kept relatively dry. Keep soil moist and fertilise in the spring with a mature plant feed or tomato feed.
During more mild months of the year in the UK they may produce fruit.

If you have a protected city garden or live in a mild area, olives can be grown outdoors as long as you give them a sunny position and plant them in well-drained soil - for example, against a warm wall would be ideal.
Once established they are extremely drought-tolerant, but plants will do better if watered regularly in dry spells during the growing season. To encourage strong growth, it’s a good idea to feed each spring with a general fertiliser.
Olives naturally shed their older leaves in spring (April in the UK) as new growth begins.
