Olive Tree - Facts

  • Olives are a symbolic tree dating back to ancient Greece
  • The olive branch was given as a symbol of peace & friendship
Received my order yesterday and delighted with everything. All traveled well and all plants chosen we're were healthy. I was particularly pleased with the standard olive tree. It is a lovely healthy plant and has a nice standard shape full and nicely formed. These plants are hard to find and to find such a lovely one on line was amazing. It brings back memories to me of seeing the ancient olive trees in Gethsemane Israel and also will be a lovely unique little memorial to my late Dad who passed away a year ago aged 91. Dad loved his garden with a passion and it washis sanctuary away from a hard working life. Creating it and working with plants was a constant source of joy and wonderment to him. It was great to be able to buy the olive tree etc online as I'm unable to go out much due to caring for my elderly mum. I was impressed with the quality of the plants and indeed that the olive tree traveled so well and was not damaged in transit. A great service in these difficult covid times!!!!
I've wanted an olive tree for years and this one is a perfect specimen for indoors and out. Small and compact it's almost a bonsai and, as they are slow growing it should stay this way for a long time if kept on a south-facing window sill during the cold months. Could become an heirloom if looked after properly! Don't be misled by the 'standard' description that had put me off in the past. This one is only 10 inches high but with quite a dense foliage.
Fast deliver, product securely packaged, plants as described. Will defo be using gardenshop.ie again in the near future.
