Tall ancient Olive tree Number TP16
Tall ancient Olive tree an incredible specimen with its splendid gnarled trunk and branches. The open crown is the most prized amongst Olive growers as an Olive should have a crown or heart big enough for a swallow to fly through without ruffling its wings. ( We can send a video if that helps, photographs are taken on delivery day and don’t always do justice to the beauty of the tree- better still visit us!)
Please note this wonderful specimen will require specialist equipment for delivery that we can arrange very easily, the cost of transport however will incur an additional fee in addition to the £50 charged at checkout.
