Just back from Costco at Sunbury and they are selling big Orange trees
in full flower at £60 each, would cost you many times more from a citrus
nursery and that's if they had similar. Also large old knarled Olive
trees. Probably have them in other branches too.


'branches', very good. Won't they be killed off, though, in a very bad
winter? Or are you planning to keep it indoors?


Olive trees should survive outdoors in mild areas. I've got one that's
thrived outside for 14 years with no protection or damage at all.

Can you grow the olive trees in the pots or do they need to go in the ground?
The offer seems to good to be true when you look at the price of similar trees online.
