Caring for your olive tree

The olive tree is a strong, low-maintenance plant that makes few demands, but with the right care it grows and shines optimally. Here are some important care tips:


Light: Olive trees like full sun. Place the tree where it will receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.


Soil: Use well-draining soil, preferably with a sandy structure. For pots, a special Mediterranean potting soil is ideal. Make sure that excess water can drain away well.


Water: Olive trees are drought tolerant, but young trees and trees in containers need regular watering. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry, but avoid allowing the roots to stand in water continuously.


Fertilization: Use a fertilizer specifically for Mediterranean plants in spring and summer. This stimulates healthy growth and fruit formation.


Pruning: Prune your olive tree in early spring to maintain a nice shape and remove dead or damaged branches. For young trees, you can prune to form a compact crown.


Winter care: Although olive trees are fairly hardy, they may need protection from severe frost (below -10°C). Place potted trees in a sheltered spot during the winter or indoors in a cool, light location. Cover olive trees in the ground with fleece or jute.
