Why Plant an Olive Grove in the UK?
Over the last few years we have discovered the varieties that are the most reliable at fruiting in the UK. We are now offering our clients the chance to buy maiden trees of 6-7 years of age. You will receive 10 Maurino ( Italy) 10 Leccino ( Italy) and 10 Frantoio (Italy)olive trees.
Olive pollination is often misunderstood because bees play only a minor role. Unlike many fruit trees, olives are predominantly wind-pollinated, releasing millions of microscopic pollen grains into the air during flowering. When a compatible variety such as Frantoio is planted alongside other cultivars, the movement of pollen between trees can significantly increase fertilisation rates. This is particularly beneficial in UK conditions, where spring weather can sometimes shorten the flowering window. By having a strong pollinator variety within the grove, more flowers are successfully fertilised during favourable weather periods, helping maximise the number of olives that develop later in the season. For growers interested in producing their own olives, incorporating Frantoio into a mixed planting is a simple but effective way to improve the productivity of the grove naturally.
These trees are grown as standards and are supplied in 10 litre pots.
We recommend planting at least 3 trees and in your batch of trees you will receive 10 Maurino, 10 Leccino and 10 Frantoio Olive.
What Can You Do With 30 Olive Trees?
When planting your Olive grove select a site in a warm sunny position if possible in a South West facing aspect. It’s not necessary to cultivate a deep planting site as the trees as they say in Tuscany ‘need to get to know their soil’. It is however good to remove any competitive weeds from around the planting area of your trees giving them approximately a square metre of soil around them without grass or other plants, this will enable your trees to establish quickly. Mulch the surrounding area with wood chip or straw and water well for the first 2 Summers. It’s a common misconception that Olive trees don’t need water, if you want your trees to fruit then water is incredibly important install either an irrigation system to drip water daily for about 20 minutes or water your trees by hand with about 5 litres of water a day. As your trees mature over the first 2 years then you can reduce this as they will send down a root system to find enough water to satisfy their needs.
We can take orders of trees in any quantity required but advise planting at least 3 trees to start off your grove, for large orders please contact us to discuss availability and delivery.
