Where to Plant Olive Trees
How to Care for Olive Trees
If you're planting in a container, choose a pot that is twice the size of its shipped container, and ensure that pot has drainage holes. Container-grown Olive Trees require more watering than those planted in the ground as well, so make sure that you water the soil until it is soaked leaving time in between for the soil to dry.
If you’re planting your tree in the ground, wait until the spring so it has the summer to get established. When you're ready to plant, dig a hole that is two to three times wider and deeper than the rootball, water to settle the roots, and mulch to help conserve the moisture.
As a rule of thumb, water your Olive Trees twice a week until the roots mature.
How to Prune Olive Trees and Pollinate
Most of our Olive Trees are self-fertile, which means you won't need a pollinator (though you can cross-pollinate multiple trees for a bigger bounty).
When you prune, ensure that you're removing dead, diseased or damaged branches year-round, and always use clean, sterilized pruning shears to do your pruning.
