Care Information
General Care
General Care
Watering: Water every 4-5 days Sun: Olives need at least 6 hours of full sun. Prune: You should prune your olive trees in late Spring early Summer before flowering. Most new growth will be produced from the pruning cuts.
Planting Guidelines
Planting Guidelines
Olive trees need a sunny spot and well-drained soil. Dig a hole the size of your olive trees container size. Avoid adding fertilizer, or any organic material. Simply plant in the soil and backfill with the same soil you took out.
Winter Care
Winter Care
Olives are not very cold hardy. Bring indoors before temperatures fall toward freezing. You can take your olive tree back outdoors once it is warm.
Potting & Container
Potting & Container
Olive trees can be kept in containers/pot. They are very adaptable and drought tolerant. The best time to start growing olive trees in a container is in the Springtime. If transplanting, use well-draining rocky soil. Preferably use a wood or clay pot for planting. Place the pot/container in an area that receives at least 6 hours of full sun. Do not overwater - it is better to water too little than too much.
Disappointed in quality control

Our tree was a gift to our uncle - we included a heartfelt note that was supposed to be included with the tree but was not, so he didn’t know who it came from. The pot it came in was supposed to be the rich olive green color but it was as plain white. Finally, the plant itself looks quite sad and decrepit , not a very hopeful gift for someone who just had a loss. Overall very disappointed.

We sent this is as a memorial gift to a friend whose stepchildren lost their mother to cancer. As she was a Jewish woman, the olive tree was a fitting tribute to her life and something the children will be able to grow and continue to have over time as they grieve their loss.
Beautiful tree
