Want to order an olive tree Verdial 175 - 225 cm online?

The olive tree is becoming increasingly popular in British gardens. The olive tree is moderately hardy and is also very resistant to disease and fungus. Olea europaea is well suited to the British climate. It is important to place the olive tree in a sheltered spot. It is also important to protect olive trees from frost.

Olive trees originate from the Mediterranean region and are one of the oldest trees in the world. The leaves of the olive tree are grey on the underside and green on the top. The olive tree replaces its leaves once every three years. The older this tree is, the more irregular its growth and shape. The irregularity and shape give it a beautiful characteristic effect.

This Mediterranean tree blooms from April to June with white flowers that have a pleasant scent. This tree can also bear good fruit (olives) in a British summer.

In general, you do not need to prune an olive tree, but you can do some shaping pruning. The longest branches can be shortened by pruning. This will encourage more growth from the crown and make the tree fuller. When pruning olive trees, it is important to do so in the spring so that the pruning wounds can heal during the spring. Also, leave the branches at least 20-25 cm long.

The olive tree, which symbolises loyalty, love and peace, is invaluable in any garden.

The trunk circumference is 40 to 60 centimetres and the total height is 175 to 225 centimetres.
