Where Do Olive Trees Grow Best?

Since olive trees are native to the Mediterranean climate, they thrive best in hot and dry conditions. Try to find an area in your garden that offers direct sunlight for as much of the day as possible, but also an area that will provide shelter from the wind.

A great spot for an olive tree, for example, would be in a south-facing area against a brick wall so that the tree is sheltered from the wind but will get strong sunlight for most of the day.

How Quickly Do Olive Trees Grow?

In the UK, olive trees will take around four years to mature enough to have the potential to bear fruit. However, your garden will benefit from their ornamental appearance long before this.

Do Olive Trees Produce Fruit In The UK?

While olive trees are evergreen trees, this is no guarantee that they will produce olives in the UK climate. They’re used to Mediterranean climates that are much warmer and humid than the UK. 

However, you may find that your olive tree produces fruit in mild regions or particularly warm summers. You’ll be able to harvest the olives by late autumn. 

It’s best to buy an olive tree for its appearance rather than its ability to bear fruit if you live in the UK. Discover our full range of ornamental plants here at Primrose for more inspiration.
