Hi simon. My olive is in a large pot, its shaped in the traditional lolly pop shape( 😴.) I always put it next to my house every year during winter, always been ok .As you say its probably up north that it would probably need protection. Thanks for advice on various plants etc. Not got any citrus plants, but did have an english plum tree once, but it got diseased, and died.The tallest tree i have i dug up as a sapling about twenty years ago is a poplar! Its in a very large pot and is still doing well, its about twenty ft tall know, in a corner and is a talking point with neighbours, makes me laugh when they tell me it can get up to 60 ft or more😂. I luv to wind em up😂😂😂. Steve.

Hi Steve and thanks for sharing your experience with your Olive tree. I can believe you are growing a poplar in a container, but if it looks good there then don't let anyone else tell you otherwise! 😉

As far as temperatures go, London should be a good place to grow pomegranates! As it has its own micro-climate and is usually three to four degrees Celsius, warmer than the surrounding countryside.😊 Plus, other heat sensitive plants. I hope so, as I have got two pomegranates in pots in a south to south westerly position.

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi Albert, yes I agree that, as a 'heat island' London will be a better place than most of the UK to grow pomegranates. In my opinion, if you can't get them to produce full sized fruit then they are a bit of a bust and I never saw a specimen thriving as well as you would see in the Med when i was living in north London. However, let me know how you get on with yours this winter. Simon

@walkingtalkinggardeners Thanks Simon for your prompt reply. I will try and do that. the only problem is I have a recall problem. My head had an argument with a brick wall, when I was tenish? Fifty years of forgetfulness have followed.

Hi Stephen, and thanks for sharing your experience. Monty Don's advice didn't sit right with me, which is why I made the video, so I appreciate you confirming that with you real world experience. Kind regards, Simon

I have an olive tree, and I've never covered it, I'm in Sheffield. It's been fine. I've had it for six years in a container pot.

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi Lindsey, and thanks for getting back in touch. I appreciate you confirming what I what my thoughts were on the hardiness of olive trees. I do like Monty Don, but sometimes his advice doesn't square with my own experience. Kind regards, Simon
