It thrives in full sun, a sheltered location, and well-drained soil that is rather poor to moderately fertile, but above all, never waterlogged for extended periods. When grown in a pot, the olive tree requires a suitable container, good drainage, an appropriate substrate, and moderate watering, as it tolerates slight drought better than overwatering. The olive tree typically flowers between May and June, and the olives develop throughout the summer before harvesting, which usually takes place between September and January, depending on the variety and the desired stage of ripeness. ✂️ WHY PRUNE A YOUNG OLIVE TREE? WHEN TO PRUNE IT? Pruning a young olive tree is important because it helps shape its future form. This is known as formative pruning. It helps to select future main branches, remove poorly oriented, competing, or unnecessary branches, and promote a more balanced, airy, and robust tree over time. The best time to prune a young potted olive tree is generally at the end of winter or the beginning of spring, once the worst of the cold has passed. If the olive tree has already started growing or is flowering, simply adjust the pruning technique accordingly. 🎥VIDEO CHAPTERS: How to prune a young potted olive tree?
