Olive & Palm Mountain

Olive Tree Cloudy Multitrunk (Large)

This large, multi-trunk Olea europaea is a stunning example of topiary artistry, trained into a "cloud" or "niwaki" style. With its multiple gnarled trunks and distinct, sculptured clouds of silver-green foliage, it creates a dramatic, ethereal silhouette that serves as the ultimate focal point for a formal garden, courtyard, or modern landscape. The contrast between the rugged, textured bark of the multiple trunks and the meticulously maintained foliage clouds evokes the ancient beauty of the Mediterranean while providing a sophisticated, contemporary edge.

Size (H × W)

180 x 130 cm

Sunlight

Full Sun. To maintain the dense, precise shape of the "clouds" and keep the foliage vibrant and silver-toned, this tree requires as much direct, intense sunlight as possible.

Watering

Moderate. Despite its size, it should be treated with care regarding water. Keep the soil evenly moist during the active growing season, but never sodden. In the winter, reduce watering significantly; the tree should be kept barely moist to avoid root stress during cold, damp months

Soil & Drainage

Demands excellent drainage. If planting in a large container, use a high-quality, free-draining loam-based compost mixed with plenty of horticultural grit. In the ground, ensure the planting site is raised or heavily amended with grit to prevent the roots from sitting in stagnant water.
