Olea Europa – Large Mediterranean Olive Tree – Circa 170-190cms Tall

Elegant, grey-green leaves retained all year and tiny, fragrant, creamy-white flowers, followed by edible, green fruits.

This olive tree makes an excellent specimen for a sunny, Mediterranean-style garden.

Slow-growing with a nice stem and attractive silvery leaves, making it perfect for planting in a large container.

Admired on your holidays it can now be admired at home as the Olive bush flowers during the Summer with avid green edible fruit appearing in the Autumn, ripening to black. The fruit is of normal size and the bush will last many years. Each year it will produce more and more succulent fruit, especially if you can afford it a place in the conservatory over winter.

The olive tree is a symbol of abundance, glory and peace. ‘Extending the olive branch’ dates back to the first Olympic games in 776 BC and was awarded to the winners, symbolizing the armistice of any hostility and the peace! It’s the perfect gift for those who deserve an apology.

Supplied as a strong attractive young tree, old enough to produce real edible olives at around 170-190cms tall including their nursery container. These have a clear truck and can be clipped to form a neat crown or allowed to grow larger and more naturally – the choice is yours.
