Commonly Asked Questions
When should I prune my Olives? Giving your olives a prune will encourage thicker growth, a prune in late winter / early spring is ideal. If your area is prone to frost, steer clear of pruning this time of year as freshly cut tips can easily be burnt.
Can you keep Olives inside? Although olives are an outdoor plant, yes you can, however there are a few things to consider. Olives will grow slower in a pot, inside the home. Try and position your olive near a window to maximize sun. Keep a close eye on the overall health of your olive as they will be more prone to disease and poor health indoor. Rotate your pot every few months to encourage even growth over the plant. Also keep an eye on the moisture levels as potted plants will dry out more quickly than if they were planted in the ground.
How big do dwarf olives grow compared to regular olive varieties? Dwarf olive trees typically have a compact size, growing 2-4 meters both in height and width. This makes them well-suited for smaller gardens, narrow spaces, and residential landscapes where space may be limited. The evergreen nature of these trees ensures year-round screening, providing privacy and a consistent green backdrop to the landscape. Whereas regular olive trees, such as Kalamata or Manzanillo, when allowed to grow to their full height, provide a significant barrier due to their tall and spreading nature. These trees are effective in creating a privacy screen, offering seclusion and shielding your property from the view of neighbors or nearby structures.
