What kind of guarantee do you offer?

We guarantee our trees to be true to type and in healthy condition when they arrive. We also provide ongoing support to help you transition your tree to its new home. Please consider the following: 

  • When purchasing an olive tree you are buying a root system and trunk that will develop and may need some time to adapt. Some weariness or blemishes are normal and should resolve on their own in a few days or weeks.
  • Damaged leaves are a cosmetic issue that does not affect the health of the plant, and are a natural way that trees protect themselves when exposed to heat or darkness. Because of this natural process damaged leaves are not covered under our warranty. Simply trim any yellow or dried leaves to allow new foliage to start growing. 

If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase at any time in the first 30 days, please contact our Customer Care Specialist, Crystal, so we can make it right. Please have your order number and photos of the damaged tree ready so that we can best assist you.

Our tree expert, Corine, is available to help with ongoing care questions. Before reaching out to Corine we recommend that you scratch a small area of bark on the trunk. If you see green, the plant is alive and will leaf out again—it may be in a dormant phase. This will be an important detail to assist in Corine’s assessment.
