Just back from Costco at Sunbury and they are selling big Orange

'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.

Always assuming they are still on sale at that price two years later.

Olive trees grow fine in pots in the SE.

Citrus need some protection from harsh winters but will also survive all
year round in pots.
