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.

Bold, architectural, and steeped in Mediterranean heritage — this Half Standard Heritage Olive Tree [Olea europaea] is a mature, sculptural specimen that brings decades of character to any outdoor space. With an 80–100cm clear trunk and a commanding 35–40cm stem girth, this tree is around 40–50 years old, making it an exceptional feature for those seeking instant impact and timeless charm.

Each tree has been hand-selected from heritage olive groves in Europe, then pot-grown and professionally shaped to thrive in UK gardens. The result is a perfectly balanced half standard form, with a dense, silvery-green canopy and a thick, twisted trunk that tells a story of age and authenticity.

Whether placed in a grand entranceway, flanking a terrace, or used as a focal point in a modern or traditional garden scheme, this olive tree is designed to impress. It’s large enough to stand alone, yet versatile enough to suit high-end container planting or in-ground design.

Hardy, low maintenance, and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in free-draining soil and full sun, with shelter from harsh winds. With minimal seasonal care, this olive will continue to develop even more texture, character, and presence over time — a living investment in your landscape.

Bring home a piece of living history — grown under Mediterranean skies, shaped by time, and ready to flourish in your garden.
