Specialist Delivery, On Us
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
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.

A living sculpture in miniature — this Mini Standard Ancient Olive Tree [Olea europaea] is a rare and remarkable piece of Mediterranean heritage, perfect for those seeking big character in a compact form. With a stout 20–40cm clear trunk and an extraordinary girth of 40–45cm, this tree is between 50–60 years old, making it a true collector’s item.
Its age shows beautifully in its thick, textured trunk — gnarled, twisted, and full of natural history — crowned with a soft, evergreen canopy of silvery olive foliage. Despite its modest height, it has incredible visual weight, ideal for adding structure and storytelling to smaller spaces like courtyards, balconies, or stylish container gardens.
Hand-picked from mature groves in Europe and pot-grown to encourage stability and long-term health, this tree brings timeless Tuscan charm to even the most compact of plots. Whether placed at an entrance, featured on a rooftop garden, or nestled into a modern landscaping design, it creates a bold impression with minimal footprint.
Low maintenance, drought tolerant once established, and hardy in much of the UK with basic winter protection — it’s as easy to grow as it is beautiful to look at.
Own a piece of living history — grown for generations, ready to transform your garden with age, elegance, and unmistakable character.
