where to buy a couple of olive trees

RobAMerc · 2017-04-10 21:14:37

hi, Is there anywhere the wife could buy some olive trees ? She saw them in Homebase at 110 each but I am sure a decent tree nursery would have them at a much more reasonable rate. thanks

I got really good standard ones in B&Q last year. They were surprisingly cheap at 35e, looked like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Olive-Tree-Olea-Europaea-Standard-x/dp/B005DQJU48 and were around 2m tall. I got the last 4 in Limerick at the time. I check back regularly to see if they've gotten more in as I'd love to put them all around the patio

I think thats exactly what she is after - I'll ring B&Q and see what they have.

I knew 110 seemed a bit pricey !

Thanks but we are looking for 3 or 4 for screening.

Where abouts in Dublin are you based though? my sister might be interested.
