[@Muswell]

Most of the olive tree videos here are from Australians or Americans. This is SO English. "I bought these two from Morrison's & got £10 off". . Great stuff. I love olive trees for the same reasons that you do - & I have 3. . One is very large (cost me £300) in a huge pot (I'll never be able to repot it if I have to !!) I had a big scare 3 years ago when, after returning from a holiday, I found it dried out & I lost all the leaves ! I cut it right back &, within a few months, the shoots started coming. But they were SO green & looked like hedge branches & leaves ! After a year, they finally turned silvergreen & it's now back to its former glory.

Thanks a million for your interest in olive trees. For sure they are not to be dealt with as flowers, they are in fact legendary and number one in survival, they survive a dry pot and a dry season as well: they grow as a child, fight as a teen and live for countless days or years; yet their rewards are endless for you, your kids and theirs as well. Simply because her shyness prevents her to be Not Green. She discharges her leaves unnoticeably .. for us to forget the autumn rule, to be happy forever… AN OLIVE TREE IS A QUEEN.

[@gramos9115]

good in depth olive tree information , thank you . I bhave 10 new potted trees 1.5M high and have very shallow soil in the garden . Beneath the soil is sandstone / rock which will not drain well . Would it be a good idea to place the trees as far into the soil as possible and build up a soil mound around the root ? Would it give enough nutrition ? There are steel bars driven into the sandstone which the trees will be tied to for vertical support . Soil depth is around 200mm only !

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi there. It sounds as if yours should be ok. I would give it a try and keep an eye on them. If the drainage is poor the idea of raising them on a mound seems like a good one. With mulching and feeding. You can test the wetness of the soil by hand. And water accordingly. Let me know how you get on. Mark

[@Stewart-ll3lu]

Hi Mark I’m a big fan of your videos. I planted my olive tree a fortnight ago after two years of it being in a pot. I followed your planting video religiously, but now the leaves are going yellow. We have been unsure about how much to water it. We have properly watered it three times over the last two weeks but it has rained as well as being sunny. What would you advise at this point? Thanks

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi there. First thanks for watching. If it's been disrupted and moved it is probably just having a little sulk from the shock. I would say don't panic, don't over water it. If it was mine I'd almost let it dry out after it's first water. Now just wait. They're very resilient. It's probably going to be one step backwards then three forwards. Let me know. Mark

Can you "score" above a node (like you can with citrus) to encourage shoots? One of my olives has a bare area on one side.

Hi there. That's worrying isn't it. I'm afraid i can't identify the pest with seeing it. Could it be wooley aphid? In which case wash the plant with mild detergent water. Then spray weekly until gone. Or perhaps it is a fungal disease. In which case you require the correct fungicide. Perhaps take a photo to a local garden centre? First thing i would do is thoroughly but gently wash the whole plant with a mild detergent water. Keep the plant well fed to resist disease. Mark

I feel like my olive tree has some condition no one's ever encountered before, certainly never shared it on the internet. My olive plant came in a similarly looking crappy plastic pot but with good drainage. I repotted it into a larger terra cotta to match the size of the treetop. Within days all leaves curled up and dried out completely. Watering hasn't helped, letting it sit in the sun without water hasn't helped it either. When I made a small cut into the bark, it's perfectly green, it's obviously alive, but the leaves all curled up and died. I haven't been able to find any help for this, has anyone ever encountered such an issue? :(
