Not for producing olives.
It is a tough hedge screening olive tree variety.
Can be tightly hedged from 1 to 6 metres tall.
The following hedge spacing rule works quite well for me:
Plant your plants 20% closer than what you want the final height of your hedge to be.
Eg: For a 100cm hedge plant them 80cm apart.
For hedges over 1.2 metres tall I suggest that you plant them 1 metre apart as this closer planting will ensure a tighter hedge from top to bottom.
Remember to pinch out new growing tips every 15cm to encourage density and sideways growth.

I have not been able to find a copyright free picture of Tolley’s Upright Olive Trees.
I am happy to send you some plants if you have a couple of good pictures of them that I can use as a hedge in your garden.

This plant also has medicinal, herbal and beauty therapeutic qualities (please confirm uses with qualified practitioners before using or killing yourself with them).
The trunks start of a smooth grey when young and can be come quite gnarled and twisted with age.
Often found in bonsai and topiary forms.
Great also for hardy pots and container plantings.
Can also be trained as flat espaliers against walls, fences etc for small areas.
Olive trees can grow in rocky and impoverished soil and can adapt to a wide soil range as they are hardy and resilient; yet the best soil is rich, fertile, well drained.
To improve growth, fertilise in Autumn and Spring.
They do not like badly drained soil.
If your area is waterlogged, you will need to raise the soil level by around 50cm with topsoil and plant them into that.
We work hard to try and ensure our notes on the variety/varieties listed are true and correct, but do not accept any responsibility for errors or information that may have occured either by my staff or or myself.
