Find Your Perfect Olive Tree at Trees of Eden
There’s something special about bringing an olive tree home. With their silvery-green foliage, beautifully shaped trunks and timeless Mediterranean character, olive trees can transform a garden, entrance, patio or special occasion into something truly memorable.
At Trees of Eden, we take pride in growing and supplying a wide selection of olive trees, from young trees that you can watch develop over the years to mature, character-filled specimens that make an immediate statement.
Whether you’re looking for an olive tree for your garden, a special gift, a wedding, a landscaping project or simply want to add a little Mediterranean magic to your space, we have a tree for you.
Olive Trees for Every Garden
One of the wonderful things about olive trees is their versatility. They can be planted in the ground, grown in suitable containers and used in everything from home gardens to larger landscaping projects.
Our available selection can include different sizes, ages and cultivars, depending on the season and current nursery stock.
Young Olive Trees
Our smaller olive trees are a wonderful choice if you want to enjoy the journey of watching your tree grow and develop.
They are ideal for:
Home gardens
Smaller spaces
Pots and containers
New landscaping projects
Gifts for gardeners
There is something particularly rewarding about planting a young tree and watching it become part of your home and family over the years.
Larger Olive Trees
For those wanting more immediate impact, our larger olive trees bring established character and presence to a garden.
A mature olive tree can become a beautiful focal point, whether positioned beside an entrance, around a swimming pool, in a courtyard or as part of a larger landscape design.
Their naturally sculptural trunks and evergreen foliage mean they offer beauty throughout the year.
Then there are the types of olive trees:
Frantoio Olive Trees
Frantoio is a well-known Italian olive cultivar, particularly valued for olive oil production. It is also appreciated as an attractive garden tree. With its Mediterranean origins and beautiful foliage, a Frantoio olive tree can be both ornamental and productive.
Frantoio & Leccino Special (while stocks last)
We also offer selected Frantoio and Leccino olive trees, including larger, more established specimens when available. These cultivars are particularly interesting for anyone who appreciates olive trees not only for their appearance, but also for their connection to olive cultivation and oil production.
Kalamata Olive Trees
For olive lovers who enjoy the fruit itself, we are excited to offer Kalamata olive trees when available. Kalamata olives are famous for their distinctive dark colour and rich, fruity flavour. With the right conditions and care, growing your own olive tree can eventually give you the opportunity to enjoy olives from your own garden.
Mature Mission Olive Trees
For something truly special, our mature Mission olive trees offer character and history. These larger, older trees have had years to develop the distinctive trunks and forms that make mature olive trees so beautiful. A mature olive tree isn't simply another garden plant. It can become a feature of your landscape for many years to come.
Mature Arbequina Olive Trees
We also have Arbequina olive trees available in limited quantities when stock allows. Arbequina is a popular olive cultivar, particularly associated with olive oil production. Its smaller olives and attractive growth habit make it an interesting choice for both olive enthusiasts and gardeners.
Please contact Trees of Eden for current availability, cultivars and sizes, as our stock changes throughout the year.

Olive Trees Make Meaningful Gifts
An olive tree can make a wonderfully different gift for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, new home or other special occasion. Unlike a traditional gift that may eventually be forgotten, a tree has the potential to grow alongside the person or family who receives it. It can become a living reminder of a special day, a new beginning or someone you love.
At Trees of Eden, we also offer olive tree gifts for special occasions, making it possible to give something beautiful, natural and long-lasting.
Looking After Your Olive Tree
Bringing an olive tree home is just the beginning. Like any living thing, your tree needs the right conditions to thrive.
Olive trees generally enjoy:
Plenty of sunlight
Well-draining soil
Appropriate watering, particularly while establishing
Regular feeding during active growth
Thoughtful pruning to maintain health and shape
Enough space for the roots and canopy to develop
The specific care requirements can vary depending on the tree's age, growing conditions and whether it is planted in the ground or kept in a container.
If you're unsure about caring for your new tree, our team is happy to offer guidance. Read our blog for guidance on how to take care of your olive tree.
