Care and Maintenance
Watering: First Year: Water once a week, more often in hot weather. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Established Trees: Once mature, olive trees are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering every two weeks in dry conditions. Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring.
Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove dead branches and shape the tree.
Harvesting: Olives are ready in late summer to early fall when they turn green or black. They must be cured before eating (brining or dry curing).
Planting Care
Soil: Use a well-draining mix (cactus or sandy soil blend). Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Loosen the soil at the bottom. Fill in with a mix of native soil and sand if necessary for drainage.
Location: Choose a sunny spot with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Olive trees thrive in well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil. Avoid clay-heavy soil.
Watering: Water deeply right after planting, ensuring the roots are saturated.
Spacing: If planting multiple trees, space them 15-20 feet apart.
