Olive Tree Olivia Europeana 20-30 cm
Olive Tree Olivia Europeana is a decorative olive that adds a calm Mediterranean feel to a sunny outdoor space. With its compact form, grey-green foliage and naturally characterful growth, it makes a stylish feature on a patio, terrace or balcony.
Location
Choose a sunny position, ideally in a sheltered spot on a terrace, balcony or patio.
Growth habit and size
It grows into a compact, small tree with a naturally knobbly, characterful outline and narrow grey-green leaves. Over time it can reach around 1.50–2 m tall and about 80–100 cm wide.
Plant care
Plant in well-drained soil and make sure excess water can escape easily, especially when grown in a pot. A free-draining compost mix helps keep conditions balanced for healthy growth.
Pruning and maintenance
Prune in February if you’d like to maintain its shape, taking care around developing flower buds.
Winter hardiness
This olive is not hardy, so a container plant benefits from protection during frost periods, especially to prevent the pot from freezing.
