Commonly Asked Questions

How do I look after my Olive Espalier?

Espaliered plants will continue to grow beyond the current lattice. You can snip off the existing lattice to attach a larger lattice or an additional one. Espaliered fruit grows well along guide wires also. Plants can also be pruned back to smaller sizes to suit compact gardens.

I have an area with limited light; can I plant Olive Espaliers there?

While olives prefer full sun, they can tolerate partial sun conditions. However, in partial shade, their growth may be slower, and they might produce fewer fruits. If possible, choose a location with the maximum amount of sunlight available.

Will my Olive Espalier produce fruit?

This all depends on the variety chosen; Tolley Upright olives are a low fruiting/fruitless olive, ideal for when you want the look of an olive without the fruit. Manzanillo and Kalamata are ideal choices for fruit and oil production.
