Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a location that receives full or partial sun – any area that gets 6 hours or more sun per day is ideal. We also recommend staking your young tree for extra protection if you get strong winds. When you’re ready to plant, dig your hole to accommodate the tree’s entire root system, place your tree, and tamp down the soil to remove any air pockets. Finally, water your Greek Olive thoroughly.

2. Watering: When your tree’s root system becomes established, your Greek Olive Tree will be extremely drought resistant. Until then, water your young tree every third day for the first 2 weeks, then once every 2 weeks. After that, give your tree light watering (about 30 seconds with a hose) each week for the first few months for best results. Monitor your tree for watering from there – if the soil is dry down to around 2 or 3 inches, it’s time to water.

3. Pruning: Prune your Greek Olive to the shape you desire. Prune in mid-February and in the fall, removing low branches and the tips of stems that have grown too long. Keep in mind that only light pruning is necessary.

4. Fertilization: Fertilize your tree only after planting. Use a slow-release fertilizer to boost nitrogen for best growth.
