Olive Tree
$880.00
Olive Tree brings Mediterranean character to a sunny balcony, with grey-green leaves, silvery undersides and a sculptural trunk. Pale walls and warm wood make a quiet backdrop for its natural form.
Approx. 1.7–1.8 m overall, including the nursery pot.
Flowering, fruiting and delivery: Olive trees usually flower from late spring to early summer, with fruit ripening from autumn into early winter. In Hong Kong, potted olives are grown mainly for foliage and form, and may not fruit. Ask about the current batch before ordering if flowers or fruit matter.
Description
Olive Tree — 🌿 Product Guide
Narrow grey-green leaves, silvery undersides and a characterful trunk give Olive Tree (Olea europaea) its distinctive presence. This batch is offered primarily for its foliage and natural form.
| Scientific name | Olea europaea |
| Overall height | Approx. 1.7–1.8 m |
| Light | Full sun or brightest position |
| Fruiting | Not guaranteed |
| Pet note | Generally regarded as pet friendly; discourage chewing |
The current batch measures approximately 1.7–1.8 m overall, including the nursery pot. Trunk, canopy and proportions vary naturally. The matt white, round planter in the styling images is a reference arrangement; confirm the plant and planter pairing before ordering.
Choose a sunny balcony or the brightest suitable window, ideally with full sun. Leave enough space around the canopy for access and cleaning. On an exposed balcony, secure the tall pot and check drainage after heavy rain.
Give it as much suitable light as possible, ideally full sun, and use a potting mix that drains freely. Let the mix become moderately dry between thorough waterings. Allow excess water to drain away and keep the pot out of standing water.
Olive trees crave outdoor sun, so think rooftop, balcony or sun-facing entrance rather than a desk. Silver-green foliage and naturally sculpted branches lend an outdoor reception or shopfront a Mediterranean note — a dim interior office, long-term, just isn’t how this one wants to live.
Best suited to a home with a sunny balcony or rooftop, where it brings a relaxed Mediterranean feel to an outdoor corner — silver-backed leaves catching the breeze are a pleasure to watch. Indoors, treat it as a short-term display piece; long-term, it belongs outside.
Olive Tree is generally regarded as pet friendly. Discourage chewing and keep it away from pets that nibble foliage. Eating a large amount of any plant material may cause stomach upset; seek veterinary advice if symptoms occur.
Choose this tree for its foliage and form. Fruiting in a Hong Kong container depends on cultivar and growing conditions and is not guaranteed. Confirm the current plant and planter pairing before ordering.
Keep the setting simple: a pale wall and wooden furniture allow the grey-green foliage and natural trunk to remain the focus.
