These are very special trees which have been hand selected by us to give you the best choice of old, sculptured and gnarled trunks. Our beautiful old olive trees are all hand-sourced from the mountainous regions of Valencia, meaning they are very used to a cold environment, with larger varieties able to withstand temperatures to -15c. Olive trees are immediately reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Their features include evergreen pale grey-green foliage and tiny fragrant, cream flowers followed by olives in the summer months. The olive tree thrives in full sun, prefers free-draining soil and can cope very well with the wind! For more information on olive tree winter care, feeding, pruning and watering read our detailed olive tree care notes. We include a printed copy of the care notes with each order.
