OLIVE TREE – PEACE IN BLOOM
A symbol of peace and timeless beauty, the Olea europaea, or olive tree, arrives sculpted into a perfect ball form. This charming topiary stands at 70 cm tall with a 50 cm spread, making it an elegant accent for patios, courtyards, or decorative containers. With its silvery-green leaves and Mediterranean flair, the Emerald Globe brings structure and serenity to both indoor and outdoor settings.
NOTE
Olive trees are naturally outdoor plants, so if kept indoors year-round, make sure they receive enough sunlight and occasional fresh air. Otherwise, they may become leggy or lose foliage over time
How to Care for Ball-Shaped Olive Tree (Olea europaea)
Light
Prefers full sun – place it in a bright spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Watering
Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering; olives are drought-tolerant once established.
Soil
Well-draining soil is essential. Use a gritty, sandy mix or cactus-type soil for pots.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Pruning
Lightly trim to maintain the ball shape in spring or early summer. Remove any stray shoots or leggy branches.
Repotting
Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with drainage holes.
Temperature
Thrives in warm climates. Can tolerate cool temperatures, but protect from frost and strong winds.
