Olive tree growth and location
Olive trees thrive best in sunny locations and are drought tolerant. They can be grown in pots, making them easy to move and overwinter. We have different sizes available if you want a small tree for your balcony or table or a larger one for your conservatory.
How to care for olive trees
When looking at how to care for olive trees, watering and nutrition are key factors. Olive trees prefer even but moderate watering and should dry out slightly between waterings.
Fertilizing during the growing season supports leaf development and enhances the plant's overall well-being. Light pruning can be used to maintain shape and stimulate a dense crown.
How to winterize an olive plant
How to winterize an olive plant is crucial for the plant's survival in colder periods. Olive trees only tolerate limited frost and should therefore be placed in a sheltered position during the winter.
Ideally, the plant should be kept in a bright and cool place, such as in an unheated greenhouse or a frost-free garage. Watering should be reduced significantly during the winter period, so that the plant is kept slightly moist without standing wet.
