How to Care for Your Olive tree

- Full sun promotes healthy growth and the best chance of flowering and fruiting.
- Avoid planting in heavily shaded areas.
💧 Water
-
Water deeply when the top 5–7 cm of soil feels dry.
- Once established, olive trees are highly drought tolerant.
- Avoid overwatering and ensure the soil drains well.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal temperature: 15–35°C.
- Mature trees tolerate short periods of cooler temperatures but should be protected from severe frost.
- Performs best in warm, dry climates.
💦 Humidity
- Prefers low to moderate humidity.
- Thrives in well-ventilated outdoor environments.
- High humidity combined with poor air circulation may increase the risk of fungal diseases.
🌱 Fertilizer
