How to grow Olea Leccino Olive Tree

Soil requirements and planting instructions

Water your olive trees regularly until the roots are well established. We recommend watering daily and keeping the soil well drained, with a ph of around 6.5. Once the tree matures it will be able to tolerate longer periods of drought, however we still recommend a regular regimen of water when the plant develops blooms and buds.

While olives are drought tolerant to an extent, we recommend regular watering for at the very least the first year of development.

You can propagate olives by using hardwood or softwood cuttings during the fall season and grafting them onto a rootstock.

Light conditions

Plant Olive trees in well drained soil and in full sun. Olive trees prefer being in bright and direct sunlight for the majority of the day.

Fertilizer

We recommend using a nitrogen rich fertilizer, 10-10-10 with micronutrients. Additionally, you can also use blood meal or any compost or organic fertilizer. Fertilize annually and avoid over-fertilizing.

(for example: 10-10-10 with micronutrients included)
