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.

Rich in character and compact in form, this Quarter Standard Olive Tree [Olea europaea] is an ideal choice for smaller gardens or stylish container displays. With a clear trunk of 40–60cm and a strong 30–35cm girth, this tree has been carefully grown for 30–40 years, offering an impressive blend of maturity and manageability.

Hand-selected from European groves, each tree has a beautifully aged trunk with natural texture and tapering, supporting a rounded canopy of evergreen, silvery-green olive leaves. The quarter standard form sits lower to the ground than taller standards, making it perfect for eye-level displays, courtyard styling, or flanking seating areas and garden paths.

Despite its modest height, the girth and age of the trunk bring a sense of permanence and elegance to any setting. The tree is pot-grown and well-adapted to the UK climate, thriving in full sun with free-draining soil, and requiring minimal upkeep once established.

Whether you're elevating a modern garden scheme or adding timeless charm to a traditional patio, this olive tree brings beauty, heritage, and year-round structure in one neat package.

Compact stature. Big character. A living slice of the Mediterranean, ready to thrive in your space.
