Care and Maintenance
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season to establish roots. Water once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods
Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. A 10-10-10 or 8-8-8 formula works well. Apply according to package instructions, avoiding direct contact with the trunk. Repeat in mid-summer if growth seems sluggish.
Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Pests and Diseases: Monitor for common pests and diseases and treat accordingly with horticultural oils or insecticidal soaps if necessary.
Pollination: Tea Olive trees are self-fertile, so you don't need another tree for pollination.
Harvesting: Tea Olive trees rarely produce fruit in cultivation, so there's no need for a harvesting process. Enjoy the fragrant flowers that bloom sporadically throughout the year, peaking in fall.
Planting Care
Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Mix in compost or aged manure to enrich the soil.
Location: Select a spot with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade.
