Plant in a Box Olea Europaea - Set of 2 olive trees

The olive tree, officially known as Olea europaea, is the oldest known cultivated tree in history. With its silvery foliage, gnarled trunks, and fragrant white flower clusters in spring, these characteristic trees are a beautiful focal point in the garden year-round. The olive tree is a stunning evergreen that adds a Mediterranean touch to your garden or balcony. Olive trees are very resilient and therefore suitable for cooler regions. And of course, the tree also produces real olives!

Care
Olive trees are ideal for any garden. They can be planted in pots and placed on the terrace, but they can also be planted in the ground. Olive trees prefer a sunny spot and do not like wet feet. If you keep the tree in a pot, always ensure that the pot has drainage holes at the bottom. Water the Olea regularly in spring and summer. Pruning is not necessary at first but can be done best in early spring or autumn (around October). Before olive cultivation, the Olea blooms in spring with small cream-white and yellow flowers. After flowering, green fruits (or drupes) develop. The olives can be harvested while still green or after they have fully ripened in late autumn, depending on how you wish to use them.
