I bought a bargain £10, reduced from a lot more, 5' olive tree from an infamous GC when they were selling up about 6 or 8 years ago. It's growing in a pot in a SE facing courtyard and is now about 8' high. Every year for about the past 4 years I've got about jar of olives, which I wash and treat. They're not very big but I enjoy growing it. I also have another shrubby one bought as a supermarket bargain which I think helps the pollination. I know they are self-fertile but I think you get more with a different one for cross pollination.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
