Watering: No specifics.
Feeding: Feed abundant, with a normal fertilizer monthly from spring to
mid autumn.
Pruning: Strong pruning is recommended in late winter. The olive will
respond with vigorous growth in the following spring. For maintenance
pruning, cut back to 2-3 pairs of leaves, and in very vigorous (and
healthy) specimens you can use defoliation.
Repotting: Repot in spring before the buds begin to swell, every three or
four years. Preferably use a soil mix with good drainage.
Propagation: From seeds and cuttings.
