Olive Tree

Olive trees are one of the world’s oldest cultivated trees, dating back to ancient Greece. They’re tough, drought hardy and famous for their delicious, plump fruit, which can be picked, pickled and enjoyed – no wonder these beauties are still popular today. But if fruit isn’t what you’re after, olive trees (Olea europaea) are also evergreen, have stunning silver foliage and clip well, making them ideal for topiary, hedges or espalier.
