Exporting Olive Trees to the EMEA: Meeting Specific Requirements with Expertise

We are proud to share our success in a project we undertook in the EMEA, where we exported over 300 Pom Pom olive trees to adorn the entrance of a real estate exhibition in one of the Emirates. Exporting live trees to this region can be challenging, as it requires adherence to specific regulations and requirements. However, our expertise in this field has enabled us to navigate these challenges with ease and deliver high-quality services to our clients.

Our specialization in exporting to the EMEA has provided us with a deep understanding of local preferences and enables us to offer customized solutions that cater to our clients’ specific needs and requirements.

Thailand is among the non-European countries to which we export our olive trees.

We export our olive trees to countries beyond Europe, and Thailand is one of them. We went to great lengths to source the best olive trees and ensure they arrived in impeccable condition. The centenary olive tree was a standout, and we are proud to have contributed to the overall success of the project.

Olive trees have mythological significance, which fascinates the Thai people, making our exportation of these plants all the more exciting. Our team takes great pride in providing top-quality products and services to our clients, no matter where they are located. This project was a testament to our commitment to excellence, and we look forward to continuing to expand our business globally.

One area of particular pride for us is our position as a leading provider of olive trees for private residences. Private spaces, such as homes, are often the most challenging in terms of logistics, as well as client demands, as attention to detail is crucial.

We have recently completed an impressive private project, which features a magnificent olive tree as its centerpiece. With a circumference of 400cm and standing at 4.5 meters tall, this tree is the star of the show! Our team has worked diligently to ensure that every detail is perfect, meeting the high expectations of the discerning client.

The million-euro olive tree

In June 2018, the CEO of a well-known European multinational and great lover of ancient olive trees was looking for a masterpiece for his villa. His estate, which already had 4 millenary olive trees, was located on the Mediterranean coast. Our client was looking for a unique piece that would stand out in his garden, with a very specific shape and as long-lived as possible.

We studied the case in detail and located some old specimens and large olive trees that might be of his interest. The client travelled to Spain and, after visiting several nurseries with our team, a millenary olive tree of about 2000 years old and with an exceptional shape was located.  Its price at that time was over 100,000€ and we estimate that, in some years, this type of ancient olive tree will reach one million euros, due to its growing market value and, above all, its scarcity. Thus, the old olive tree was moved to its new location, where it now stands out from the rest, adding value to the estate and representing a legacy for the family.

Export to China

In February 2018, a batch of mature olive trees were exported to China in 3 containers. The export was for an Asian nursery that wanted to import old olive trees due to the high demand of its customers. To carry out this operation, all the requirements for obtaining the phytosanitary certificates were done. All the procedures that were carried out, were specified in the supplementary declaration:

  • The olive trees were transplanted into a new pot during the two years prior to export and a mixture of peat was used for transplanting, free of parasitic organisms.
  • The consignment was free from pests as according to visual inspection: Apate monachus, Bactrocera oleae, Eutipiosis lata, Lepidosaphes ulmi, Lobesia botrana, Theba pisana, Xiphinema sp., Verticillium dahliae, Xylella fastidiosa
  • The ornamental olive trees also received a nematicidal treatment.

Private state in North London

In July 2019, a successfull start-up owner from the UK contacted us through his landscaping company. He was looking for a 8m tall olive tree that could preside his new house in London.

In order to be more agile, we sent him several pictures and videos of 5 specimens we found in different nurseries. Once everything was clear, he decided to travel to Spain to select, live, his tree.

After the selection, we coordinated the delivery with his landscaping company as well as with the construction company that was building the house. Moreover, we sent them specific indications of which treatment should they apply to the tree in order to better adapt to the UK climate.

Our client opinion about us: “I feel very lucky to have found your company!”

Landscaping project

In May 2017, large olive trees were supplied for a landscaping project in a European Union country. In this case, the phytosanitary passport was drawn up in compliance with the requirements of European legislation. The most suitable olive trees for the planned design were selected.

The ornamental olive trees were easily adapted to their new location and climate thanks to our maintenance recommendations.
