Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select a location with well-drained soil and full sun – any area with approximately 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day is perfect.
When you’re ready to plant your Dwarf Olive Tree, dig a hole that’s about one and a half to two times the size of your plant’s root ball, place the tree in the hole, backfill the soil and water to settle the roots. If you’re container planting your Dwarf Olive, simply select a container that’s twice the size of the tree’s root ball and follow in-ground instructions from there. Containers should also have drainage holes.
2. Watering: Once established, your Dwarf Olive is drought tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water about once weekly or more often in extreme heat and check the surrounding soil…if the surrounding soil is dry 2 or 3 inches down, it’s time to water your plant. Reduce watering frequency once your plant is established but continue to water container-planted Dwarf Olives regularly.
3. Fertilizing: Feed your Dwarf Olive with a general-purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in the spring.
4. Pruning: Remove any old or damaged foliage, or damaged branching, and prune your tree during winter.
