Olive Trees For Sale

Grown outside in the UK, to be grown outside in the UK

I have been growing a variety of European Olive, Olea europaea 'Peace', outdoors in Britain since the 1990's and can now offer young trees by post. These trees are suitable for growing outside in the UK and are growing throughout the UK. For background information and care instructions, please click here.

This variety grows vigorously and is suitable for growing in the ground or in a container. You will find that it behaves quite differently depending on which you choose. In the ground, like most plants, it will grow faster and produce a small to medium-sized tree in ten years. In a pot, its growth will be contained and can be easily kept to a three or four foot bush at ten years old.

I often see flowers and occassional fruit on plants as young as a year old. Whether the fruits will ripen depends very much on how good the season turns out to be. On the Mediterraean, it takes ten months for the fruit to ripen, in Britain it will take longer. Incidentally, the oldest olive tree in the UK is the one growing at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London which is now nearly 100 years old and produces fruit in good summers.

To order a tree please use the Pay Pal facility below or send a cheque or Postal Order payable to Caradoc Doy.

All trees come with full care instructions.

Trees are carefully packed and sent by carrier or first class post for fast delivery. A delivery service is available for local orders charged at cost (£1 per mile) from Topsham. (So, if the delivery is 10 miles from Topsham, the total delivery cost will be £10).

Should you require a mixture of tree sizes and prices, please give me a call and ask for a special quote.

Plant an Olive in Remembrance

It can be difficult to know how to help those suffering a bereavement. Often, a plant is chosen as a memorial and an olive tree is a good choice. Choose a message of sympathy when ordering and I will gladly add this to the tree when being packed.

An olive branch; gesture of peace
An olive branch is an internationally recognised symbol of peace.



"The olive tree is surely the richest gift of heaven"
Thomas Jefferson



Peace Oil

An interesting initiave is Peace Oil which is produced in Israel by Jews, Arabs, Druze and Bedouin working together. The award-winning extra virgin olive oil produced is being sold to encourage co-operation between communities. Profits from Peace Oil are being used to support peace and reconciliation work in the Middle East.

For more information go to Peace Oil.



Grown in the United Kingdom

PLEASE NOTE
Currently, I only send my olive trees by post within the United Kingdom & Ireland
