Specialist Delivery, On Us

We offer complimentary, specialist delivery across most of mainland England and Wales on all olive tree orders. Each delivery is carefully arranged to ensure your tree arrives in excellent condition, whether it’s a single statement piece or a full grove.

You can typically expect delivery within 14 to 21 working days, though timelines may vary depending on tree size, quantity, and your location—so we kindly ask that you allow up to 30 days.

Trees under 2 meters in height are delivered via the pallet network, curbside. Those over 2 meters and in pots under 120L are delivered using our private van service for more direct and careful handling. Mature or heavier trees may be delivered via lorry; in these cases, we ask that access details are provided at checkout or by email shortly after placing your order to ensure smooth delivery.

Please note that we recommend not booking any gardeners or contractors until your tree has been delivered and received.

Some remote regions, including the northernmost and southernmost parts of England and the westernmost areas of Wales, may fall outside our standard delivery routes—if this applies to you, we’re happy to provide a custom quote.

For full information, please view our delivery policy. T&Cs apply.

Natural Variation & Availability

We take great pride in offering hand-selected olive trees, each one chosen for its unique form, character, and story. These are living, evolving trees—shaped by nature, time, and the environment in which they’ve grown. As such, natural variation is not only expected, but embraced.

No two trees will ever be exactly alike, and we believe that’s part of their lasting charm. While the images shown are a close representation of the style and size you can expect, factors such as seasonality, maturity, and growing conditions may affect the tree’s appearance, foliage density, or shape at the time of delivery. Minor differences in height or spread are entirely normal.

Once your order is placed, we begin sourcing your tree from one of our trusted partner nurseries—most often in Tuscany. For mature olive trees, you may request a pre-shipment inspection photo, which we’ll send once the most suitable tree has been selected. Please note that inspection photos are only available for mature trees and not for younger or bulk-order trees, where reviewing each individual specimen isn't feasible.

For trees delivered with pots, variations in pot material may occur depending on the size of the tree's root system.

Old-world charm in a compact package — this characterful Quarter Standard Olive Tree [Olea europaea] is the perfect choice for those looking to add instant maturity and Mediterranean texture to their outdoor space. At approximately 14–17 years old, these trees boast an impressive 18–20cm stem girth and a sturdy 40–60cm clear trunk, giving them a more architectural presence than typical younger olives.

Hand-selected from expert growers in Italy, each tree is pot-grown and shaped into a natural, rounded canopy perched neatly above its thick, sculptural trunk. The result is a beautifully proportioned tree that fits effortlessly into courtyards, urban gardens, and patios — whether flanking a walkway, framing an outdoor dining area, or creating year-round interest in a stylish container.

These quarter standards are especially versatile — short enough to suit eye-level planting designs, but mature enough to hold their own as a standalone feature. Their silvery evergreen foliage, classic bark texture, and Mediterranean look instantly elevate any garden design.

Hardy down to around -8°C and happiest in full sun with protection from harsh wind, these olives will thrive in free-draining soil or in pots with good drainage. With care and time, they’ll only get better — developing more texture, character, and form as the seasons go by.

Bring a slice of Tuscany home with this bold and timeless olive tree — grown in Italy, made to last in the UK.
