"Give it a wiggle around" so the roots come into contact with the soil....Thank you. I love that advice.

[@fortbumper]

the best gardening help is from Monty !

[@dcrunicycles]

Thank you from Truckee California

Love Monty ...

Can you plant a Mission and Manzanilla in the ground and dwarf prune it to 10' and still get olives? Or does it want to put on new growth instead of olives? Does putting olives in containers stunt their growth? Someone told me to plant the olive tree in the ground with a large pot with drain hole. Thanks.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

thank you Monty!

[@andreaborja3050]

Thanks for the video, would you please tell me how do I get my olive tree to grow leaves only from the top? Mine is growing leaves all over the place from the bottom up

[@darrenfisherman3838]

How often do you water it only once week?

[@streaming5332]

What's wrong with using potting mix?

[@isaacamaranolo2787]

Pls how long will cutting Oliver take to produce fruit

[@PhilipFordham2000]

20/30 years

[@stevebardella_farm-nature7bis]

There is no precise rule, it depends on the variety of olive tree, here in Italy we have plants generated with the Margotta technique, buried in pots and then on the ground they already generate olive fruits for oil we are talking about plants with little more than 1 year and a half of life, obviously the quantity is limited because we are talking about a young and small plant but already producing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuxn3t_aL-cipI

[@LizTells]

What is the variety?

[@Muswell]

Oleander Europea - that's the only variety that will survive in the UK & will be the only one you'll see on sale. The others would die in our Winters.

How old are the olive trees in this video? We received one as a gift which looks about the same size but we have no idea how old it is…

[@christieheyblom]

Guessing but based on my own plants, I’d say it’s about 2 years

[@stevebardella_farm-nature7bis]

The plant in the video could be up to three years old, if we have to count from when it was born and therefore from the method with which it was generated, for Talea or Margotta, with the Talea the seedlings with a semi-woody body, do not exceed 10/20 cm therefore the growth after rooting, is much longer to have a plant as in the video, while with the layering technique, we have a branch of the mother plant that must be at least 1 year old and already reaches one and a half meters, then the roots after about 4/6 months, when it is separated from the mother plant and buried, it has already acquired 40 to 50 cm, so this has reached one meter and eighty centimeters or two meters in a year and a half of life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuxn3t_aL-cipI

[@PhilipFordham2000]

Can I not just put my small olive tree in a very large pot?

[@willowtree6487]

I think if it’s in too big a pot it will concentrate on growing roots rather than growing upwards, which is why you ought to do it incrementally.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her Thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now but wait 'till you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The waters getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire how about yours That's the way I like it and I never get bored Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars Somebody once asked, "could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place" I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change. Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold (And all that glitters is gold) Only shooting stars break the mold

You feed every 2 weeks ?? You're the expert, Monty, but isn't that over-feeding an olive tree?
