The Arbequina olive is renowned across Spain for its graceful form and exceptional resilience. Compact yet full of character, it’s perfectly suited to patios, courtyards, and borders — thriving in the UK’s cooler climate while retaining its sun-loving charm. Whether placed in a large terracotta pot or planted in free-draining soil, this tree adds instant architectural structure and Mediterranean atmosphere to any outdoor space.
Why Choose the Arbequina Variety
Native to Catalonia, the Arbequina is celebrated for its adaptability, hardiness, and soft grey-green foliage. It’s one of the most reliable olive varieties for the British climate, thanks to its ability to withstand temperatures as low as –15 °C once established.
In its native Spain, Arbequina trees are prized for producing deliciously aromatic, fruity olive oil — but here in the UK, they are loved for their ornamental beauty and year-round evergreen presence. Each of our trees has been grown slowly under the Spanish sun, then expertly acclimatised to the British climate here in Norfolk. The result is a strong, beautifully formed olive tree with a smooth, tactile trunk that reflects years of natural growth and Mediterranean sunshine.
Caring for Your Smooth Stem Olive Tree
Plant your Arbequina olive tree in a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil, or display it in a stylish container for evergreen structure all year round. Water moderately during summer and avoid overwatering in winter. These trees love warmth but are remarkably cold-tolerant once established — hardy to –15 °C, making them ideal for most UK gardens.
A Smooth Stem Arbequina Olive Tree will reward you with enduring beauty, sculptural form, and a lasting sense of calm Mediterranean luxury.
