In late spring and early summer, the tree produces clusters of small, creamy-white mignola flowers that may develop into green olives, slowly ripening through yellow-green to purple by autumn. Standing approximately 100–120 cm tall, it creates an instant architectural focal point with its classic silver-green canopy, Mediterranean silhouette and naturally sculptural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a healthy, fresh \u0026amp; fully established olive tree in its 5L nursery pot, this is not a small starter plant. It arrives well-rooted, professionally staked and outdoor garden ready, grown in premium peat-free compost for strength and long-term resilience. Once planted in a sunny, well-drained position, olive trees are remarkably easy to care for—thriving with minimal maintenance, needing only occasional watering in dry spells and light pruning to maintain their standard shape. With proper care, they reward with years of evergreen beauty, fragrant blossom and the satisfying pleasure of growing your own olives.\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 Tree, Olea, European Olive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height: \u003c\/strong\u003e2–3 m (container-grown), larger if planted in ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80–150 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit: \u003c\/strong\u003eStandard Stem with Rounded Evergreen Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for: \u003c\/strong\u003ePatios, Entrances, Courtyards, Sunny Borders, Mediterranean Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time: \u003c\/strong\u003eLate Spring to Early Summer (Creamy-White Mignolas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green to Purple Olives (when conditions allow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position: \u003c\/strong\u003eFull Sun, Sheltered, Well-Drained Soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardy in UK with winter protection for harsh frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Evergreen Mediterranean Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51051863998684,"sku":"COL-5L-OLI-TREX1","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_88de1535-c201-45e3-97ca-b5453e656d85.png?v=1780565284","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-5l-oli-trex1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
