Bought this tree 3 yrs ago and planted it in a large patio pot. And now, as advertised, it is producing it's first crop of olives. The tree is 6' tall and looks fantastic. What an awesome addition to our collection and landscape!

First time with gurneys
Reviewed By: Ray Schipani (Lake Placid, Florida)
Ordered the Med Olive trees last April. They arrived very small 3-4 inch plants, hard to start some of them died. Gurneys replaced them the next planting season, these were 8-10 inch plants. Started growing like crazy, and right on thru the winter. 5 months and they are already between 3 and 4 feet high. When Gurney guaranties they sincerely mean GUARANTEE! They are the best.

Ordered this last spring, plant it, and brought in it before freezing temps started in Georgia. It died. Maybe I should have not brought it inside and tried planting it outside. Gurneys is sending me a replacement and this spring and I am going to try planting this one outside next to the house on south or west side of house and see how it does.
