Olea europaea - Olive Tree
We have run out of stock for this item.
A touch of the med in your own garden. The trick to growing them is sun and shelter from the elements, whether you place them in a bed or a patio container. They can withstand drought, but it's best to make sure you're regular with the feeding and watering.
Olive Trees also make great pot plants, if you can provide sufficient drainage and a sunny spot. They like to be kept warm but can withstand lowish temperatures, anything too frosty and below -10°C will cause them to struggle. That's where our good friend frost fleece comes into play.
