With the weather warmer and long weekends beckoning, more of us are heading back out into the garden after the long winter and looking for ways to spruce up our outdoor space. Bargain hunting gardeners wanting to bring a taste of the Mediterranean for a fraction of the usual price can currently get a fragrant olive tree for under a tenner thanks to a clever deal stack.
The Thompson and Morgan Standard Olive Tree usually costs £34.99 on Yimbly (an online retailer operated by this title’s parent company, Reach PLC) but currently has a hefty £8 discount in the brand’s spring sale, reducing the cost to £26.99.
However, there’s a way to get the tree for even cheaper still, thanks to money-saving website TopCashback. Deal-hunting shoppers who sign up for a free account with the site get a free £15 welcome bonus when they first spend £15 or more at any qualifying online store.
This means that shoppers who get the deal at Yimbly can effectively get the tree for £9.63 after cashback has been paid. Yimbly describes the 18cm potted specimen as both slow-growing and self-fertile.
Olives are evergreen, which means they retain their foliage and maintain visual appeal throughout the seasons. While they’re commonly linked with Mediterranean regions, they can actually flourish in British conditions. Yimbly states the trees are 150cm (59″) tall and with a spread of 50cm (20″) as well as an 80cm stem.

Olive trees thrive best when positioned in sun-drenched spots. The solitary review posted on Yimbly so far described them as “nice healthy plants,” reports the Mirror.
Thompson and Morgan also sell the standard Olea europaea olive tree on their own website, where it’s more expensive, costing from £39.99, and not available with the TopCashback deal. However, shoppers there have given the trees a 100% five star rating, praising the plants.
One shopper said: “The olive tree is beautiful. So much nicer than expected and was delivered early. Very impressed.”
Another described it as ‘excellent quality,’ while a last one added: “Love my olive tree and is growing very well.”
No disadvantages have been highlighted by reviewers on either site, although it merits mentioning that whilst olives are resilient, they can suffer damage from severe frosts and may require relocation to a frost-protected environment during particularly bitter cold snaps.

This is precisely why maintaining them in containers is frequently a sensible approach. Gardening aficionados may wish to explore Gardening Express, where the 100cm Olea Europa costs £39.99. A more substantial 160cm specimen commands a slightly higher price of £79.99.
Amazon stocks Olea Europaea olive trees as well, with the 100cm variety available for £27.95. This arrives in a 21cm container and boasts an average customer rating of 4.4 stars out of 5.
