Buying an olive tree for indoors

(Question)

Hi masters ,

I have searched everywhere with no luck for an olive tree that I can grow indoors !
Can anyone guide me to a nursery that will definitely have an olive tree.

Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners. As a houseplant you will probably want a dwarf olive tree which grows to about 1.8m or 6 feet tall. We are not permitted to provide specific recommendations on where to purchase plants, however here are a couple of resources for you to try.

Landscape Ontario provides a list of their recommended retail garden centres with contact information. Here is a link to their website :

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs provides a list with contact info for fruit tree and nut nurseries in Ontario. Most of these are for outdoor plants, however these experts might be able to help you source your indoor tree. Here is a link to their website :

Good luck finding your olive tree !
