Increase watering frequency as temperatures rise. Continue watering thoroughly, but always let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.

When planting or potting your Olive Bush it’s best to choose a south or west facing location as it will flourish better in a sunny sheltered spot. It’s also worth mentioning that Olive trees come in all different shapes and sizes, and because of this you will need to get a pot or urn that can accommodate this. Once you’ve selected a suitable pot or urn and found the perfect patch, we recommend using a mix of John Innes no.3 and agricultural grit for planting or potting. This technique involves removing all or most of the branches and shoots of an old or neglected tree to encourage new growth.

While olive trees are hardy plants, they still require some protection during the colder months, especially when grown in pots. Understanding your tree’s temperature requirements and taking necessary protective measures can help your potted olive tree weather the winter season. Temperature Requirements Vitruvius describes of the use of charred olive wood in tying together walls and foundations in his De Architectura: Fossil evidence indicates the olive tree had its origins 20–40 million years ago in the Oligocene, in what is now corresponding to Italy and the eastern Mediterranean Basin. [24] [25] Around 100,000 years ago, olives were used by humans in Africa, on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, for fuel management and most probably for consumption. [26] Wild olive trees, or oleasters, were present and collected in the Eastern Mediterranean since ~19,000 BP. [27] The genome of cultivated olives reflects their origin from oleaster populations in the Eastern Mediterranean. [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] The olive plant was first cultivated some 7,000 years ago in Mediterranean regions. [24] [34] Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches to prevent the spread of infection and to encourage new growth.There’s no way around it, Olive trees demand well-drained soil. Although they can grow in most types of soil, if the dampness at the roots can’t pass through, they’ll die.

If you want to keep your olive tree looking wild and open crown head, prune very little, and leave the branches to grow freely. You can be more relaxed with your pruning, only removing dead or damaged branches and any shoots crossing or rubbing against each other. Olives are surprisingly hardy and can live in temperatures as low as -10C – -15C (dependent size), but only for short periods of time.

[ citation needed] Repotting your olive tree is a necessary part of container gardening, as it ensures the tree has adequate room to grow and prevents it from becoming root-bound. Since pots or containers can limit olive tree roots’ development and restrict growth, you should repot your olive tree every two to three years. Olive Trees in Pots need to be repotted every couple of years to encourage growth and refresh soil nutrition. Fresh olives are naturally bitter, so they must be cured before consumption. There are several curing methods, including brining, water curing, lye curing, and dry salt curing. Each method imparts a unique flavor and texture, so experiment to find the one that suits your taste buds best. Adjust fertilization: Feed your tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for container plants. Use TreeHelp premium fertilizer for olive trees.

First, gently remove your olive tree from its nursery container, taking care not to damage the roots. Place the tree in the center of your prepared pot, ensuring the root ball sits slightly above the soil line. This positioning will help ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot. Filling the Pot with Soil To be able to produce fruit, Olive trees need lots of sunlight. Try and place your tree in a sun trapped area of your garden. Walls that are south facing are perfect choices! 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. You can also keep down the height of the tree by pruning out the tallest branches. This is often important when you are pruning olive trees in containers. Use thinning cuts, not heading cuts, since the latter will stimulate new tall growth. Thinning cuts involve cutting something out, while heading cuts – also called topping cuts – involve cutting something off. Generally, you’ll want to use thinning cuts in olive tree trimming. Olive trees thrive in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0 to 8.0. A high-quality, well-draining soil mix typically combines potting soil, compost, and perlite or pumice. This blend gives the tree essential nutrients while promoting good drainage and aeration.

Olive Tree Care

Keep Olive Tree Healthy

Good drainage is essential for olive trees, as they are sensitive to over-watering and root rot. Adding perlite or pumice to your soil mix will help improve drainage and prevent waterlogged soil. Whether your olive tree is planted in the ground or in a pot, it will benefit hugely from an annual or biennial prune. You will be amazed by how much more exuberant it looks as a result,' says Nicola Hope.

As with many fruit trees, olives fruit on new wood, so if you’re going to try for fruit a regular prune will increase your yield.The purpose of trimming olive trees is to open more of the tree up to sunshine. The parts of a tree that are in shade will not produce fruit. When you trim olive trees to allow sun to enter into the center, it improves the fruiting. Read on for information about how to prune olive trees and the best time to prune olive trees. When to Prune Olive Trees You can focus on rejuvenation pruning for neglected olive trees. This involves removing a significant portion of the tree’s canopy to promote new growth and rejuvenate the tree. This technique is often used when the tree has become overgrown and neglected or has not been correctly pruned in the past. So when pruning young trees, do not remove the dominant central trunk (if the seedling is elongated with few lateral branches, it can be shortened). But it is almost always necessary to remove or shorten competing branches (and keep one dominant trunk).
