Why Choose These Fruit Trees?

• Olive Tree: Evergreen, drought resistant, and symbolic of peace, olives can thrive for decades and may develop fruit in maturity.
• Fig Tree: Deciduous, fast-growing, and tolerant of pruning. Figs offer attractive foliage and edible fruit (typically from third year).
• Lemon & Orange Trees: Glossy, evergreen leaves with white, fragrant flowers. These citrus varieties require a sunny spot-lemon and orange trees reward patience with their delicious, zesty fruit as they mature.

Growing Guide

• Light: Provide a sunny, sheltered location that mirrors Mediterranean conditions-at least 6 hours of sunshine per day recommended.
• Soil: Well-drained compost or soil. Avoid waterlogged roots. Slightly alkaline to neutral pH (6.0–8.0) preferred.
• Watering: Water regularly, letting the topsoil dry out between waterings. Never let roots stand in water.
• Fertilising: Feed with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season (spring to late summer).
• Hardiness: Olive and fig are hardy outdoors; citrus trees are frost-sensitive and may need protection or indoor shelter in winter.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant out or repot during spring or early summer when frost risk is low.
• Prune back any dead or damaged branches at the end of winter.
• Protect citrus trees from frost; move pots indoors or to a greenhouse if needed.
• Repot as trees grow-choose larger containers to allow root expansion for healthy, vigorous growth.

Design Inspiration & Companion Planting

• Group on a sun-drenched patio for an authentic Mediterranean feel.
• Mix with lavender, rosemary, and thyme for complementary colour, fragrance, and pollinator appeal.
• Pair with terracotta pots and gravel for classic Mediterranean style.

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant these trees? Plant or repot during spring or early summer, once any risk of frost has passed.
• How quickly do the trees grow and bear fruit? Growth is moderate; expect ornamental value from year one. Fruit development varies by species, often within 2-4 years if well-cared for.
• Do I need to bring the trees indoors for winter? Olive and fig trees are hardy outdoors; lemon and orange trees should be sheltered indoors or in a frost-free area during cold snaps.
