Description

Olea europaea is a member of Olea genus, which is a family of 40 species that are native to the Mediterranean, Middle East, Southern Asia and Australasia. By far the most well known is Olea europaea which is the European Olive which produces the fruit that is turned into olive oil and produces table olives.

Only recently becoming popular in the UK and surprisingly hardy (down to -15 degrees for short periods!) – all they need is a nice sunny spot with good drainage and they will flourish. They will often produce small green fruits in the UK however these won’t ripen as it doesn’t get hot enough in the UK for a long enough period.

These plants are available to be delivered to most locations in Mainland UK and would be delivered on a pallet to your address within 4-7 working days. Unfortunately this is a curbside/drive drop and we are unable to assist with planting or getting the tree into your garden.
