Thompson and Morgan Olive Plant in Pot 24cm

A standard olive tree introduces a Mediterranean essence to UK gardens, remaining verdant throughout the year. This self-fertile evergreen exhibits a graceful, modern form, characterised by a slender stem and eye-catching grey-green foliage, enhancing any outdoor setting. During extended warm summers, it produces petite, fragrant blossoms, subsequently yielding smooth green olives. Suited for both well-protected gardens and spacious containers, this adaptable tree lends a decorative touch to patios while also being productive. Reaching a height of 150cm and a spread of 50cm, the Olive Tree (Standard) combines aesthetic beauty with practicality, appealing to both seasoned and new gardeners. Supplied as 1 x 24cm Potted Olive Tree (140 to 160cm Tall).
How to Grow: For best results, plant in a location with full sun to ensure optimal growth. While suitable for UK climates, container-grown plants should be moved to a sheltered location or a cool greenhouse during winter. Water thoroughly during dry spells, especially during the initial 2-3 years after planting to aid establishment. In spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to help retain moisture throughout the summer. Only minimal pruning is needed; trim in late spring or early summer to eliminate old, unproductive branches and promote new growth.
