The olive tree is steeped in mythology and is a symbol of peace, they have been known to live for thousands of years so it really would be the birthday gift of a lifetime.

Calamondin fruits are a perfect balance of sweet and sour. A delight for the senses, the tree looks absolutely stunning and smells divine. The ideal birthday gift for a fruit lover. Imagine the look on their face when they open the box to find this little beauty on their birthday. Not many people know that both the skin and the flesh of the fruit can be eaten, the skin is a little sweeter which complements the tart flavour inside.
The tree is delivered in a 1L pot and will love a sunny spot on a windowsill. They stay at a small size and will just need re-potting every couple of years to give it a little more room to grow.
Delivery Tip: Calamondin trees are slightly more cold hardy than other citrus varieties, however, still won’t tolerate the outdoor UK winter weather.
