The "Olive Tree" or "Olea europea" is a slow-growing and reasonably compact plant, making it an ideal addition to a small balcony or patio. Sadly, here in Ireland, it will unlikely produce olives as we do not get the adequate levels of sunshine needed. Care Instructions:  Full sun to bright partial shade. Can withstand hot, baking sunlight.  Allow them to dry out a bit in between waterings, never allowing the soil to become saturated. When the soil is dry in the first two inches, it’s time to water. Trim leaves regularly to maintain the desired shape If grown in a container, feed with liquid tomato feed once per month for dense green foliage. Care Level Rating: Easy Notes: All large plants come with their plastic nursery pot only. Ceramic pots are sold separately.
