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 showpiece of age and elegance, this Half Standard Mature Olive Tree [Olea europaea] is the perfect blend of form, scale, and heritage. With a sturdy 80–100cm clear trunk, a powerful 60–70cm stem girth, and an impressive age of 90–100 years, this tree brings a sculptural, Mediterranean presence to any garden.
Its twisting, time-worn trunk is richly textured and visually dynamic, hinting at the decades of slow, sun-soaked growth it has enjoyed in the olive groves of Southern Europe. Above, a soft and full canopy of evergreen silver-green foliage offers year-round colour, movement, and architectural interest.
This tree is ideal as a commanding centrepiece in large planters, entranceways, courtyards, or integrated into formal planting schemes. The half standard form creates clear stem height for underplanting, lighting, or framing views — perfect for designers and garden enthusiasts alike.
It’s not just about beauty either — this tree is also practical. Hardy in much of the UK with some winter protection, drought-tolerant once established, and incredibly low maintenance, it offers long-term ease and seasonal reward.
Timeless and full of character, this is a mature olive tree that turns heads — and keeps them turning.
