Caring for a 350-400 year old hardy evergreen heritage olive tree of this calibre is an investment in legacy. These ancient olives are remarkably resilient once established in well-drained soil. For best results in the UK climate, we recommend professional planting with underground anchoring to counter wind load on the large canopy.

Regular deep watering is essential during the first two seasons, followed by the water-budget method thereafter. Light annual pruning in late spring helps maintain the cloud-pruned shape and canopy health. In colder regions, trunk protection during extreme frosts is advised.

Full specialist aftercare guidance and ongoing support are included with every high-value olive tree purchase. For more detailed advice, read our guide to planting large specimen trees successfully in the UK.
