FAQ

How do you care for a Mediterranean olive tree?

Olive trees are very hardy and can withstand a wide range of climate conditions, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to expand their plant family. While they prefer warm, sunny weather, they can handle some cold temperatures if they are in an area that receives a lot of snow in the winter. Olive trees do best in a Mediterranean-style climate with lots of sunlight and a soil pH of 7.0 or higher. When growing an olive tree, be sure that it receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day, and make sure that the soil pH level is above 7.0. Optimal temperatures are between 60 and 90 degrees farenheit during warmer months. In the winter, olive trees should be in 28 degrees or higher temperature, and no less than 20 degrees farenheit to prevent damgae to the tree.
