Anyone know where I can buy some seeds in UK ?

I'm now wondering if the salting process kills the olive stone or if
you could use the stones from shop bought olives.
Might be worth a try :-)

Yes, I'd assumed that the curing process would have severly reduced the
chances of germination, but as you say it might be worth trying.

got two olives in my garden, horrible things, yours if you want them.
Never had anything on them.

The OP might like them. One's enough for me, and as you're supposed to
trim them back, I shall try propagating the uttings - though I'm told
this is difficult.

I got 2 olive trees included as a free gift with something else I
bought. Dumped them in the garden assuming they were going to be
purely ornamental in this climate. Last week decided to kick one of
them out to make space and surprised to find 4 perfectly edible olives
on the one I chopped down. Still getting rid of them, but if you want
them.....

Trees take about 20 yrs to mature and fruit (in Spain).
