What is the difference between the 2 options? They both say 6-inch pot?

I think the difference is the size (height) of the plant

Can this plant be planted outside in zone 7and stay outside ?

Hello Plant Friend! Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, Olive trees can actually tolerate some colder temperatures, even down below freezing, but they won't like being exposed to cold temperatures for long periods. Since the biggest concerns are the night temperatures, that is what you have to look at. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Can this plant tolerate being kept potted in zone 7?

I am in zone 5B (Albany NY). My plant is growing nicely in a south facing window. No problem. I am looking forward to taking it out onto my deck in the warmer summer and returning it to the window next winter.

Does it come with the decorative pot as shown in the picture? If not how can i order one to be delivered at the same time?

No decorative pot. I left it in the plastic pot for about six weeks. I put the plastic pot inside a nicer pot. Then, when the plant was acclimated to its surroundings, I transplanted it into a slightly larger and nicer pot. Remember to fertilize and water. If you do it will grow nicely
