Compact, evergreen & authentically Mediterranean—these premium Olea europaea plants bring silver-green foliage, early fruit & timeless character to patios, balconies & small gardens.

You can choose from two beautifully grown forms: Mini Olive Tree – a sculptural standard with a clean trunk & rounded crown, perfect for entrances, patios & container focal points, OR Mini Olive Bush – a naturally multi-stemmed, fuller shrub ideal for terraces, balconies & Mediterranean-style groupings.

Both forms display narrow, elongated leaves in classic olive tones—dark green above and shimmering silver beneath. From May to June, each plant produces clusters of pale white-green mignola flowers, followed by small ovoid fruits that ripen from green to yellow, purple & eventually deep purplish-black in autumn. Compact in size yet rich in ornamental detail, these olives grow 50–90 cm depending on the form, offering evergreen structure, soft movement & a genuine Mediterranean feel even in cooler climates.

Supplied as healthy, fresh & fully established 15cm potted plants, each olive arrives well-rooted, leafy and already carrying developing flower buds or early fruit. Grown by specialist growers, both the tree and bush forms are carefully shaped and nurtured for strong establishment and instant patio impact. Simply position in full sun, water moderately and use a free-draining mix enriched with expanded clay to keep roots healthy. Light pruning maintains shape while feeding during the growing season supports flowering and fruiting.
