This plant can be placed outside in warm seasons and displayed inside in the colder months
Gardeners across the country will be busy getting their outdoor spaces back in ship shape after a long winter. And with summer on the horizon, many with a green finger will be going for a seasonal theme.
While Scotland may not exhibit sweltering sunshine like the Mediterranean, that doesn't mean your garden can't take inspiration from sunnier climates. And what better way to do just that than getting some new plants, with one on sale at an impressive steal.
Currently on offer for £149.99, down from £399.99, this extra-large, heavy-duty Tuscan olive tree is a steal, saving shoppers an impressive £250.
Ideal for planting in large pots in a sun-soaked courtyard or patio, all you need to create your own Tuscan terrace at home is a refreshing glass of Chianti.
This giant Tuscan olive tree can also be planted directly into the ground in the garden and is sure to flourish in any well-drained, sunny spot.
Featuring elegant, grey-green leaves that stay year-round, along with small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers followed by edible, green fruits, this olive tree is a worthwhile investment, providing an immediate and lasting impact through the seasons.
Perfect for a sunny, Mediterranean-style garden, these olive trees grow slowly, boasting a lovely stem and attractive silvery leaves. If you've ever admired olive trees while on holiday, the great news is you can now enjoy your own from your garden.
The olive tree blooms during the summer, yielding plenty of green edible fruit that appears in the autumn, ripening to black. Moreover, this tree will endure many years, even reaching a ripe old age of hundreds of years, reports the Mirror.
Each year, these olive trees will produce more and more juicy fruit, especially if you can provide a bright sunny position, ideally sheltered from cold winter winds.
If you're keen on container gardening, placing your olive tree in the conservatory during the winter months is a wise choice, or positioning it sheltered against the house where it will gain from the warmth and protection of a wall.
For those considering alternatives, B&Q offers a two-pack of Olive Trees 5-6ft Tall in Pots for £94.99. Alternatively, Amazon lists a 1.1m olive tree priced at £44.90.
Back to this olive tree, happy customers who have introduced an olive tree to their garden are effusive in their praise for this delightful addition.
A five-star reviewer exclaims: "All first class. The tree was well wrapped and in very good condition. I have been buying plants from Gardening Express for two years now, and I can say they are simply the best."
Another customer enthuses: "Wonderful tree! The size is incredible and seem to be much more expensive elsewhere. The quality of the tree and condition is also fantastic."
A satisfied purchaser comments: "Really big trees delivered in great condition. Exactly as advertised. I'm a regular customer and they never let me down."
