From May to June, each plant produces clusters of pale white-green mignola flowers, followed by small ovoid fruits that ripen from green to yellow, purple \u0026amp; eventually deep purplish-black in autumn. Compact in size yet rich in ornamental detail, these olives grow 50–90 cm depending on the form, offering evergreen structure, soft movement \u0026amp; a genuine Mediterranean feel even in cooler climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as healthy, fresh \u0026amp; fully established 15cm potted plants, each olive arrives well-rooted, leafy and already carrying developing flower buds or early fruit. Grown by specialist growers, both the tree and bush forms are carefully shaped and nurtured for strong establishment and instant patio impact. Simply position in full sun, water moderately and use a free-draining mix enriched with expanded clay to keep roots healthy. Light pruning maintains shape while feeding during the growing season supports flowering and fruiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultural Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names: \u003c\/strong\u003eOlive, European Olive, Olea europaea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height: \u003c\/strong\u003e50–90 cm (variety\/form dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40–60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit: \u003c\/strong\u003eStandard Tree or Multi-Stemmed Bush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for: \u003c\/strong\u003ePatios, Entrances, Balconies, Small Gardens, Courtyards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time: \u003c\/strong\u003eMay–June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit Development: \u003c\/strong\u003eSummer to Late Autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position: \u003c\/strong\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e: Free-Draining Compost with Added Grit\/Clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eHardy Evergreen Mediterranean Shrub\/Small Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353497125084,"sku":"COL-15CM-MIN-OLI-BUSX1","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_49aaf4d8-6f09-4cdf-b0b1-68e2423776eb.png?v=1766158208","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-15cm-min-oli-busx1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
