If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a slice of the Mediterranean, our olive oil trees for sale might be the perfect addition to your garden.

Whether you’re looking for a touch of timeless beauty or the chance to cure your own olives at home, olive oil trees offer something special for every gardener.
Why Choose an Olive Oil Tree?
Olive trees, or Olea europaea, have been cherished for centuries for their resilience, beauty, and cultural significance. Here’s what makes them a standout choice for UK gardens:
Timeless Aesthetic: With their silvery-green leaves and elegant trunks, olive trees add a Mediterranean charm to any outdoor space.
A Sustainable Option: Hardy and drought-tolerant, olive trees thrive with minimal maintenance, making them an eco-friendly choice.
A Culinary Connection: While the UK climate isn’t ideal for pressing olive oil, you can still enjoy harvesting olives to cure and eat at home perfect for antipasti or as a unique gift for food-loving friends.
How to Grow Olive Oil Trees in the UK
The UKs cooler climate can be challenging, but with the right care, olive oil trees flourish. Here are some tips:
Choose the Right Location: Olive trees love sunlight, so plant yours in the sunniest spot in your garden or consider growing it in a pot that can be moved to follow the light.
Drainage is Key: Ensure your olive tree has well-draining soil to prevent water-logging.

1. Pick your olives when they are green and firm.
2. Rinse them and soak in water for 7 to10 days, changing the water daily.
3. Prepare a brine solution (1 part salt to 10 parts water), and store the olives in the brine for a month.
