Olea europaea — the true Mediterranean olive tree — arrives as a graceful standard stem specimen in a 19cm pot, standing 90cm tall. The classic lollipop form, with a clean trunk topped by a rounded canopy of narrow, silvery-green leaves, brings instant Mediterranean character to Irish patios, balconies, and sunny rooms.
This is a genuinely long-lived plant. Olive trees can live for centuries, and with proper care your Olea europaea will grow into a statement piece that improves year on year. At €41.95, it's one of the most cost-effective ways to bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your outdoor space.
Why Choose an Olive Tree Standard Stem?
- Architectural form: The standard stem — a clean trunk topped by a rounded crown — is a classic patio design choice: structured, elegant, and immediately eye-catching.
- Evergreen year-round: Silvery-green leaves stay on through Irish winters, giving your patio or balcony life even in the coldest months.
- Drought-tolerant: Mediterranean origins mean this plant is built for dry spells — ideal for a patio pot where watering can be inconsistent.
- Indoor or outdoor: Thrives outside on a sunny patio or balcony; can be kept indoors in a very bright, sunny spot such as a south-facing window or conservatory.
- Long-lived investment: Unlike annual plants, your olive tree will grow and mature for decades.
- Gift-worthy: A stunning, unusual gift for housewarmings, birthdays, or garden enthusiasts.
Care Guide
- Light: Full sun — outdoors in a sheltered, south-facing spot is ideal; or a very bright sunny window indoors
- Watering: Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings; water moderately in summer, sparingly in winter
- Temperature: Hardy to approximately -5°C when established; protect or bring indoors during harsh Irish winters
- Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (April–September)
- Potting: Well-draining compost is essential; repot every 2–3 years or when pot-bound
- Pruning: Light shaping in spring to maintain the standard form and tidy the canopy
