Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3. Nitrogen fixers are an essential group of plants to include in an olive tree guild. These plants, such as legumes like beans and peas, can take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a form that plants in the soil can use. By planting nitrogen fixers in your olive tree guild, you can increase the amount of nitrogen available to the olive tree and other plants in the guild. Most problems come from underwatering in Summer and overwatering in Winter. Both of these can lead to leaf drop. If the dropped leaves are crisp then a good watering and a return to a more regular routine will soon set your plant on the road to recovery. If the leaves are more leathery, the leaf drop is likely to be due to overwatering or allowing the delicate roots to sit in water. Try moving your plant to a sunnier position and withholding water until the soil has really dried out. You can gently remove the plastic pot to have a look at the dampness of the roots if in doubt. Other plants that can be included in an olive tree guild include herbs like rosemary, which can deter pests and provide *a habitat for beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs. Fennel is another herb that can attract beneficial insects, while marigolds can repel pests and add a splash of color to the garden. Nasturtiums are also an excellent addition to an olive tree guild, as they can repel pests and attract pollinators. The best thing about borage is that all parts of this herb are tasty and have culinary use: you can use vivid blue starry flowers to decorate salads, and you can add cucumber-flavored leaves to your tea or other beverages. Borage is the favorite plant of honey bees, bumblebees, and small, native bees. It keeps a vital balance in your garden and helps with pollination.

Olive Trees and Bushes are generally quite easy to take care of and should only need trimming once a year if required. Your Olive Bush will also need regular watering as expected, but be careful not to waterlog the plant. All Olive Trees like free drainage, so keep this in mind if planting in the ground. Plant parsley about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) away from your olive trees, in a location with full sun to partial shade. Parsley prefers moderate watering to stay healthy and vigorous.
