A taste of the Mediterranean. Over the years, the olive has been the symbol of abundance and peace. Olives can serve many purposes; as a windbreak, an ornamental tree, and, of course, for their culinary fruit and oil. Olives grow exceptionally well in pots too, which means they are a perfect gift idea city gardens.
This plant comes in our large-sized box, in a drawstring tote bag and includes a gift-card personalised with your message. The freight is $15.00 for delivery anywhere in New Zealand.
