Patio Spiral Stem Olive Tree

Place your potted Olive Trees in the sunniest spot available in the garden to encourage a crop of fruit to emerge.

• When planting in pots, use a loam-based compost, adding roughly 20 per cent grit to boost drainage. If planting in the garden, instead add the grit to the planting holes.
• Pot-grown plants should be transferred to slightly larger pots each spring. Avoid overpotting by only moving to containers roughly 5cm larger in diameter than the existing one.
• Olive Trees are hardy but benefit from some winter protection. Small potted plants can be moved inside or left in the garden with bubble wrap or other insullation material applied to the pot. Use fleece cover to protect the canopy of the plant.
• Although drought tolerant, pot-grown olives must be watered regularly and not be allowed to dry out.
• Clip trees occasionally to retain a consistent standard shape.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
