At the buying an olive tree it is important to pay attention to the following points:

  • Age and size: Do you want to buy a small olive tree or buy a large olive tree that you can grow yourself, or do you go for a mature tree that brings instant atmosphere?
  • Hardiness: Not all olive trees are equally resistant to cold. Choose a variety suitable for your climate. At Olive Tree Shop, we always have an assortment of varieties suitable for our climate.
  • Breeding method: Will you go for a pot-grown tree or a transplanted tree from the open ground? Potted olive trees speak mostly of young trees. With transplanted olive trees, we are talking about old olive trees that mostly come from olive groves. The olive trees recovered from olive groves Need a special breeding process if transplanted.
