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.

Prefer a hand-off experience? Our planting experts are here to help.

Our specialist planting service is available nationwide for most orders. Whether you're planting a single feature tree or transforming an entire space, our trusted team ensures your olive trees are positioned and planted with expert care.

Planting is quoted individually based on tree size, access, and location. If you’d like us to take care of everything from root to soil, request a planting quote here.

We’ll guide you through what’s needed and coordinate a planting date that works for you.

Structured yet full of natural charm, our Large Lollipop Olive Trees (Olea europaea) stand between 150–170cm tall and are hand-selected in Tuscany for their clean form and quality. With a well-defined raised trunk and full, rounded head, each tree is pot-grown and ready to bring timeless Mediterranean elegance into your space.

This size is ideal for those looking to make a quiet statement — whether framing an entrance, softening a terrace, or adding year-round structure to a courtyard or walled garden. The elevated shape offers balance and proportion, while the evergreen foliage provides lasting visual interest throughout the seasons.

Pot-grown for easy transplanting and strong root development, these trees are well-suited to both containers and open ground in sheltered, sunny areas across the UK. With minimal maintenance, they’ll mature gracefully and become a living anchor in your outdoor design — elegant today, exceptional tomorrow.

Tuscany-grown. Naturally refined. Delivered to your door.

How to care for your young olive tree

Young olive trees are naturally tough and easy to care for. The key is helping the roots settle after planting.

Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil. Once settled, it will need very little fuss.

Your first 12 weeks

Give it a good start

Water well after planting. Check the soil every few days and water when it starts to feel dry. Keep the tree firmly staked.

Aspect

Plenty of sunshine

Choose your sunniest spot, ideally facing south or west. Shelter it from strong, cold winds.

Watering

Check before you water

Push a finger or trowel into the soil. If it feels dry below the surface, give the tree a slow, deep drink.

Soil

Drainage matters most

Plant with the top of the root ball level with the soil. Add a 5–8cm layer of mulch, but keep it clear of the trunk.

Feeding

Keep it simple

Do not add feed to the planting hole. From the following spring, use a balanced feed only if growth looks weak.

Pruning & winter

A light tidy is enough

In spring, remove dead, damaged or crossing branches. Use horticultural fleece during very cold weather.

A pot gives you flexibility and makes winter shelter easier. It will need more regular watering than a tree in the ground.

Your first 12 weeks

Settle it into its new pot

Water thoroughly after potting and let the extra water drain away. Check the compost daily for the first two weeks.

Aspect

Sunniest spot wins

Place the pot in full sun, ideally facing south or west and sheltered from cold winds. Turn it occasionally for even growth.

Watering

Water, then let it drain

Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry. Soak until water runs from the base, then empty any saucer.

Soil

Give the roots room to breathe

Use a large frost-proof pot with drainage holes, filled with peat-free loam-based compost and added grit. Raise it on pot feet.

Feeding

Once a month in the growing season

Use a balanced liquid feed monthly from spring to early autumn. Do not feed in winter.

Pruning & winter

Keep it neat and protected

Give it a light trim in spring. In severe frost, move it beside a sheltered wall, wrap the pot and fleece the branches.
