In the collective imagination, the olive tree is almost always a huge tree, perhaps centuries old, planted in large open spaces so that it can give us its precious fruit, the olive, the raw material of the precious Mediterranean diet.
However, there are some varieties of olive trees which can also be planted in pots , in small spaces, and which do not produce fruit.
The olive tree is a plant that easily adapts to climate and extreme conditions , however it is not recommended to plant it in places that are too cold. Precisely for this reason, planting it in a pot that can be kept indoors is an ideal solution.
