Popped into Lidl on Saturday & they did have the olive & banana plants & yes I was suckered into buying one of each. The olive tree is in a plastic 'terracotta' pot & came with a tiny bottle of olive oil strapped to it but it looks like a bonsai olive tree with a sturdy thick trunk & tiny leaves & is labelled 'europea' like my other but nothing like it! The banana wasn't labelled at all but I assume it will be a tender variety & will need to be undercover in winter. I'm attaching a photo of the olive & banana next to the 'free' (p&p) olive I got from Gardeners' World magazine this week also, next to a 30cm ruler so you can see how small they are. They all look like nice healthy plants though so far!
