Olea Europaea "On Stem" - Ø19cm - ↕90cm
Bring a touch of classic Mediterranean charm to your terrace or balcony with the Olea Europaea "on stem", an olive tree grown on a single woody trunk with a neat, rounded crown.
Evergreen Structure & Mediterranean Flair
The Olea Europaea "on stem" carries narrow, lance-shaped grey-green leaves with a silvery underside, and holds them all year round. Its clear stem and compact, spherical crown make it a natural focal point beside a doorway, on a patio, or flanking a seating area.
Ideal Placement & Care
This Mediterranean olive tree wants a sunny, warm spot. It is ideal outdoors on a terrace or balcony through the milder months, and will also do well indoors in a bright position. Give it shelter from strong winds and hard frost — in colder spells, move the pot against a sheltered wall or bring it under cover.
Watering Requirements
Water regularly but let the top of the compost dry out between waterings. It needs noticeably more water in summer than in winter. Never leave the roots standing in wet compost — this plant is far happier slightly dry than soggy.
Secure Packaging & Delivery
We carefully package your plants in a sturdy box built for the safe transport of live plants. The plant and its potting soil are protected by a cover and the plant is secured inside the box, so your Olea Europaea "on stem" arrives fresh, healthy and undamaged.
