Bring Mediterranean charm to your outdoor space with a elegant evergreen trees, each boasting silvery grey-green foliage atop a slender stem that instantly elevates patios, balconies, or doorways. Supplied as two standard olive trees in eighteen-centimetre pots, each with a contemporary grey planter, they’re perfect for framing entrances or adding a sophisticated touch to sunny sheltered spots. In hot summers, you might enjoy delicate, fragrant flowers and smooth green fruits, while the easy-care nature lets you shape and nurture them with minimal fuss. Simply plant in soil-based compost, water during dry spells, and give young plants a little winter protection for healthy growth. Grow it in large containers of soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3. 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. Keep the base weed-free and mulch in spring with compost or manure to retain moisture. Also, 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 a cold greenhouse in winter.
