6 Foot Olive Tree

Very healthy and vibrant 6 foot tall olive trees, with basket. These trees are approximately 8 years old.

These are beautiful trees and would be great to fill a corner in your home.

Olive trees are native to the Mediterranean, so they can tolerate dry air. Most won’t need any additional humidity in your home. These little guys are single stem olive trees in 6 inch growers pots, and are an indoor plant, you can leave them outside during the summer months if you wish, but be sure to bring inside if there is risk of frost or the temperature is expected to drop below 5 degrees celsius.

Some tips: 

• Choose a spot in your home that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun a day, such as a southern exposure. Avoid letting the leaves touch window glass, which can intensify the sunlight and burn them.

• Use a large container with drainage holes. Fill it half-full with a good potting mix that drains easily or a sandy mix, such as a cactus potting soil.
• Water thoroughly to settle the soil; when you can stick your finger about an inch deep into the pot and the soil feels dry, it's time water again. Olive trees grow slowly, especially in fall and winter, so avoid overwatering.

• Feed the tree once a month in fall and winter with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. When spring returns, start feeding twice a month, or switch to a timed-release fertilizer. Follow the product directions to know how much to use.
