Welcome to the lush world of Trees Of Eden, where each olive tree holds the promise of a Mediterranean paradise in your backyard. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting your green journey, our olive trees bring both beauty and bounty to your landscape. Here's everything you need to know about caring for your olive trees, right from the experts themselves.

Fertilizing Your Olive Tree

Keeping your olive trees well-fed is essential for their growth and productivity. We recommend feeding your trees four times a year with a slow-release biogenic organic all-purpose pellet. This provides them with the necessary nutrients for healthy development and abundant fruiting.

Watering Your Olive Tree

Proper hydration is key to thriving olive trees. During dry spells or if rainfall is scarce, aim to give each tree a good watering of about 20 liters twice a week. However, if rain is sufficient, reduce watering to 10 liters twice a week. Remember, it's best to water in the morning to minimize evaporation and allow the roots to absorb moisture effectively.

Care Instructions for Your Olive Tree

Olive trees are relatively low-maintenance, but they do appreciate some TLC. In addition to watering, it's beneficial to feed them with a biogenic organic fertilizer once a month. This helps replenish essential nutrients and promotes robust growth.

Planting Instructions for Your Olive Tree

The foundation of healthy olive trees begins with proper planting. Follow these steps to ensure your trees get off to the best start:

1. Dig a hole measuring 60 x 60 x 60cm.

2. Mix half compost and half potting soil to create a nutrient-rich planting mixture.

3. Fill the hole with the soil mixture, leaving it 25cm from the top.

4. Water the hole thoroughly to settle the soil.

5. Carefully place the olive tree in the center of the hole, ensuring it's at the desired depth.

6. Gently remove the bag without disturbing the roots.

7. Fill in any gaps with additional soil, ensuring the tree is secure.

8. Remember, the way you plant your olive tree initially sets the stage for its future growth and vitality. By following these planting instructions diligently, you can help your trees establish strong roots and thrive in their new environment.
