Olea Europaea Olive Tree Seeds For Home Growing
Olea Europaea Olive Tree Seeds For Home Growing
Grow Olea Europaea 'Olive Tree' seeds into a Mediterranean-inspired indoor garden. Olive trees make elegant houseplants, and in temperate climates can be grown outdoors. For sowing, use a 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome. Seed prep includes scarification, a 12–24 hour pre-soak, and stratification for at least 30 days prior to planting in a cold environment (garage, outdoor area, or fridge) to mimic overwintering. After stratification, move seeds to a warm spot to continue growing. These seeds are for the 2026 growing season. Fertilize your olive trees once a year, more frequently during the growing season, especially when younger. For more germination info, consult our seed guide.
Germination typically takes 2–3 months. Plant at 1/2" to 1" depth, with 1–2 seeds per 4–6" nursery planter or soil pod. Start in a 4–6" nursery pot or greenhouse to start (no terra cotta for germination). Seed prep includes pre-soak, scarification, and stratification; method options include greenhouse or paper towel. Maintain ~60F for a month, then 70–80F. Time to maturity is >1 year. The plant is a tall tree with lush small leaves. It prefers light from full sun to grow lights, in coconut coir/peat-based soil with pH 5.5–8.5. Fertilization ranges from heavy to light. Pet-friendly for cats and dogs; pests may include scale and spittlebug (with bacterial infections).

Let customers speak for us
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
Quality was excellent. Perfect for my Dad’s grave site, honoring a proud Marine.
Appreciate the extra effort to get the product to me when needed. The delivery was made with speed and consideration, very much appreciated
