Olea europaea – Bush Form

European Olive

(10 customer reviews)

Olea europaea has been cultivated and grown for its fruit and oil by people as far back as the ancient Greeks and Romans, but it is nonetheless hardy enough to be suitable for British gardens.

Olea europaea in bush form is a small to medium sized evergreen shrub with a thin hard wood trunk, iconic silver-grey green leathery leaves in a natural shape, and sweetly scented flowers. All of our olive trees are sourced in person from handpicked Spanish growers with high quality stock.

Expert Tip

Olea europaea can be planted or kept in a pot, so long as they have good drainage and are watered well in the warmer summer months. Olives make for a stunning feature to suit a wide variety of styles, either clipped to suit formal gardens or left loose for more naturalistic designs.
Care & Size Guidance

Care & Size Guidance

This evergreen bush is hardy and, from its coastal heritage, can withstand strong winds and even minus temperatures. So, despite their Mediterranean roots, olives are perfectly suitable for British gardens.

Olea europaea is a very slow growing plant and is tolerant of pruning, so it’s unlikely to outgrow the space it’s in.
I ordered 8 of the small trees and 2 half standard. They’re everything I hoped for, stunning olive trees of excellent quality. The larger ones are bigger than expected

Really nice, well packed, good size and delivered very quickly and tracking was accurate, online plants from other places have been a bit hit and miss but this one exceeded my expectations and I look forward to the nicer weather and planting it out and would happily order from here again.

Appeared in good health althougha couple of branches were broken and had to be removed. Wasn’t really a very good shape though. Uneven and lopsided, so okay but don’t think I’d order another one.

Ordered to olive bushes, they were half price, fabulous condition and looked better than I expected they would. Well packaged and tracked delivery. So happy with them. Also i’m Loving the upgraded palm centre website too, (although the link from the email asking me to review went to an error page). Much better user experience. Thanks

I bought one of these for my sister to thank her for looking after my mum and dad, one for me and one for my son as a new home present. Very pleased with all of them. Very good ,bushy plants in excellent condition and very good value for money. My sister is delighted with her olive tree. I’m going to let mine grow tall for a lovely mediterranean look. Can’t thank you enough. Your plants make great presents for the family. Well done, The Palm Centre.
