There’s something magical about olive trees—their timeless beauty, silvery leaves dancing in the breeze, and the promise of sun-drenched harvests. At Trees Of Eden, we believe every garden deserves a touch of the Mediterranean. Whether you’re an experienced green thumb or just dipping your toes into the gardening world, here’s how to give your olive trees the love they need to flourish.

Feed for Strength, Fruit, and Flair

Like all living things, olive trees thrive when well-nourished. To keep yours happy and fruitful, feed it four times a year with a slow-release, organic biogenic pellet. Think of it as a seasonal feast—packed with all the good stuff your tree craves for vibrant growth and bountiful olives.

Water Wisely, Water Well

Water is life, but timing and balance are everything. During dry stretches, aim for around 20 liters per tree, twice a week. If the skies have been generous, you can scale that back to 10 liters. Always water in the morning—your tree will thank you, soaking up every drop before the sun gets too strong.

Keep the Care Coming

Olive trees are wonderfully low-maintenance, but a little regular attention goes a long way. Monthly feedings with a biogenic organic fertilizer keep the soil rich and your tree resilient. Got questions? We’re just a message away—our team is here to help, whether you're troubleshooting or just looking for tips.

Planting: Where It All Begins

Success starts in the soil. Here’s how to give your olive tree the perfect beginning:

Dig a 60 x 60 x 60 cm hole.
Mix compost and potting soil 50/50 for a nutritious base.
Fill the hole, leaving 25 cm at the top.
Water generously to settle the mix.
Gently position your tree in the center—roots and all.
Remove the bag with care, keeping the root ball intact.
Fill in any gaps, patting the soil down to support your tree.

A good start means strong roots, steady growth, and a tree that will grace your garden for generations.
