6" Olive Tree
LIGHT:Your olive tree prefers direct sunlight. Place your plant in a full sun location that receives 6+ hours of direct sunlight per day.
WATER: Water when 25% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. Do not use a saucer outdoors or allow the plant to sit in standing water.
TEMPERATURE
This plant cannot survive winter throughout most of the US. Bring indoors when the temperatures dip below 40°F. Plants can be damaged when temperatures drop below 30°F.
ADDITIONAL CARE
The olive tree needs a 2 month period of dormancy during the winter with temperatures between 40-50°F to help it produce flowers and fruit. This is also known as vernalization. Keep the plant in a bright spot indoors, water sparingly, and do not fertilize during this dormant period. This self pollinating plant can fruit in summer & fall after the third year if care requirements are met.
