The best thing about landscaping with olive trees is their incredible versatility and hardiness. They are known as the jewel of the Mediterranean, but they have also captured the hearts of the UK. Over the past few years, outdoor spaces have become extensions of our homes and plants have become the new shopping accessory. The best thing about olive trees is their ability to adapt to any garden, in any climate, with minimal maintenance.
Why choose an olive tree?
There are over 700 olive trees across the world, but some are more popular than others. Here at the Norfolk Olive tree, we have a few firm favourites such as:
- Cloud Pruned Olive Tree
- Gnarly Olive Tree
- Tuscan Olives
- Young olive trees
- Romantic open crown olive tree
One of the best things about landscaping with olive trees is they can live in pots or in the ground. They thrive well in any location and withstand frost and extreme heat. So, whether you’ve got a penthouse apartment needing character or large grounds needing a statement, olive trees hit the mark. They have a romantic charm like no other tree, and offer privacy, screening, and can frame an entrance beautifully.
What plants well with an Olive Tree?
It’s important to choose pants that promote your olive tree’s health and have similar water needs. If you pick the right plant combinations for your olive tree, you can create a balanced and beautiful space. One of the most popular choices to pair with Olive trees is long grasses. They add a soft whimsical addition to any landscape. Other companions that work well are palm trees, as they add an architectural edge alongside the softness of the olive tree.
