About this plant

A young olive tree with slender, silvery green leaves on woody stems. It has the relaxed, sun-washed look of a Mediterranean courtyard, and it suits gardeners who want a real tree they can bring indoors.

Olive trees need lots of light: a sunny south or west window indoors, or a bright patio in warm weather. Water deeply when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, then let it drain; it handles dry spells far better than wet feet. Use a fast draining mix and a pot with a hole.

Prune it lightly to shape it as a small tree. In mild climates it can spend summer outside and come back in before frost. A thoughtful gift for the gardener who has everything.

From November to April, we recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection (a heat pack) at checkout. Plants shipped in cold weather without it are not covered for cold damage.
