The detail

You can choose from two beautifully grown forms: Mini Olive Tree – a sculptural standard with a clean trunk & rounded crown, perfect for entrances, patios & container focal points, OR Mini Olive Bush – a naturally multi-stemmed, fuller shrub ideal for terraces, balconies & Mediterranean-style groupings.

Both forms display narrow, elongated leaves in classic olive tones—dark green above and shimmering silver beneath. From May to June, each plant produces clusters of pale white-green mignola flowers, followed by small ovoid fruits that ripen from green to yellow, purple & eventually deep purplish-black in autumn. Compact in size yet rich in ornamental detail, these olives grow 50–90 cm depending on the form, offering evergreen structure, soft movement & a genuine Mediterranean feel even in cooler climates.
