Paul is a qualified Arborist as is our son Luca, so they are well informed and love sharing their expertise.
Picking the right trunk
It’s important to look at the trunk of the olive tree not just the leaves. This is because of the short growing season in the UK – meaning trunks generally mature slowly. If you buy a young olive tree in the hope it will become gnarly over time, you might be disappointed. So, if you are looking for a characterful gnarly trunk you will need to have one from the outset. In addition to the trunk, it’s worth considering the green leaves (or the crown for those in the know). Unlike the trunk, what you see isn’t always what you get. Olive trees are pruned to encourage new growth, so if you find the perfect trunk don’t worry about the shape as it will grow!
