Elegant 12-Year-Old Olive Bonsai Tree – Symbol of Peace & Friendship

This beautifully styled Olive bonsai (Olea europaea) is full of natural charm, character, and Mediterranean warmth. With its gentle twisty trunk, exposed roots, and silvery green leaves, it’s a standout specimen that’s both calming and charismatic.

This is a bonsai with personality. The open, balanced branch structure allows you to fully appreciate its three-dimensional form, making it a joy to view from every angle.

Why We Love It:
The slender, glossy leaves shimmer in the light, with a soft silver underside that catches your eye. The trunk rises confidently from a lovely root flare, flowing naturally into a strong, elegant structure. Small white flowers and real olives appear with the seasons, offering a gentle rhythm to its growth and beauty.

It’s potted in a glazed royal-blue ceramic pot with a matching drip tray—subtle and stylish, perfectly chosen to enhance the tones of the foliage.

Symbolism:
The Olive tree is one of the most ancient and cherished symbols of peace, friendship, and hope. Giving one as a gift or welcoming one into your space brings these qualities to the fore.

Care Tips:
Olives like warmth and light. Place your bonsai outside during the summer months, or keep it in a bright conservatory or cool indoor spot with lots of natural light. They prefer slightly drier soil, so allow the top layer to dry before watering again. Avoid overwatering—this species enjoys a gentle touch.

Description

Twisty Olive Bonsai Plant with Character & Fruit – 12 Years Old

This striking Olive bonsai tree plant is full of Mediterranean charm and artistic flair. With its wonderfully twisted trunk, exposed roots, and lush fruiting branches, it feels like a miniature sculpture shaped by nature itself. Every curve and detail adds to its mature, timeless feel — it’s a real eye-catcher.

At 12 years old, it’s a beautifully balanced tree that still has so much potential for further shaping and refinement. Whether you’re gifting it or adding to your own collection, this bonsai offers a peaceful presence and a story that’s still growing.

Why It Stands Out:

🌿 Unique Styling – A naturally informal upright shape with great trunk movement and well-formed root flare.
🫒 Fruiting Branches – Small olives will grow on the tree, paired with dainty blooms during the season.
🌳 Evergreen Elegance – Silvery-green foliage with a soft, textured feel that complements its rugged structure.
🪴 Beautiful Potting – Comes in a stylish royal-blue ceramic pot, finished with a matching drip tray for easy care.

Symbolism of the Olive Bonsai Tree:

Furthermore, the olive bonsai tree is one of the most beloved and sacred trees, symbolising peace and friendship.

Positioning:

Additionally, it is ideal for both indoors or outdoors but protect from hard winter frosts. This bonsai is ideal for beginners, being easy to care for. Personally, I feel the best place for an olive is outside during the summer and in a cool room or conservatory for the cooler months. It is happy in a conservatory all year round, but you would need to water more regularly in the summer.

Watering, Pruning & Feeding:

The olive tree likes to be grown on the drier side. Please keep the top of the soil barely damp to the touch; with a little dampness lower in the soil. This species does not like to be wet. We recommend our Beginners Bonsai Care Kit – The Essentials which contains both bonsai fertiliser and pruning scissors to support the care of this lovely tree.
