Olive Tree topiary lollipops (Olea europaea)

Our appetite for growing olive trees shows no sign of abating, largely because they are tough, architectural evergreens for gardens of all sizes. Unless you live in the Mediterranean it’s unlikely a British-grown olive tree will ever achieve the gnarled ancient structure that dot arid sun-scorched hillsides and groves from Southern Europe to the Middle East but that doesn’t detract from their popularity or versatility. There’s almost no need to explain that olives are slow-growing evergreen trees with small, rounded aromatic grey-green leaves with silver undersides. Tiny white flowers appear in summer but they rarely bear fruit in the UK which is just as well as it spares us the vicious festering bites of olives flies that normally occur around June. Olive trees offer sculptural accents throughout the year and create exemplary textured topiary.

Happy grown-in-ground or planters framing paths and entrances and are attractive in kitchen gardens and potagers.
