I am so glad i found your channel-hooked! I can listen and watch all day! Thank you!
Your olive tree pruning experiment is brilliant. lol. Cannot wait to see the outcome~
Just got an olive tree and didn’t know the first thing about it. I was about to just throw it in some potting soil and call it a day. Learned so much from just this one video. Thank you so much. So glad I found your channel 🙏🏻🫡
Thank you for this lovely comment. Good luck with your olive tree 😊
Thank's for sharing to care a olive pot tree 🌳 im from phillippines 😇 godbless
Ah thanks you, and welcome to my channel it's nice to have you here. Mark
To crock, or not to crock? A question with many answers! Good upload as ever. Thank you Mark.
Such great content...thank you so so much for taking the time to educate and explain everything.
thank YOU!
Happy to find your channel , Mark.
My little olive is doing well; the only issue is : it’s cold in winter , here in eastern Canada.
End of November , I put it inside the attached , unheated garage ( there’s a window, with good light ). I never have the courage to leave it there long enough to induce flowering, though, since it can get down to -10,or -12 for a few weeks , even in there .
Would you think it should be fine , anyway ?
Many thanks
Ed
You're banging out some content lately Mark. Not complaining mind.
Hi! Yes i know 😊 there's lots going on and I'm making hay whilst the sun shines. Only 14% of my views are subscribers or return viewers so I'm reaching out to get more followers. I'm monetised so each video adds a little to my income. Not hugely but worthwhile. Thanks for watching 😊
So glad I found this channel. So concise, easy to understand &to the point. Interested to see if you get any more olive trees out of the cuttings. Fingers crossed.
Hi Mark. Appreciate your comments and feedback very much indeed. Mark
That's a lovely-sized olive tree Mark, I'm sure it will look brilliant later in the year once it's pushed out some new growth 👍
Thanks Peter. I hope so.
🇬🇧 yes, I'm also a bit worried about your breathing. Keep well.
I get this often. Thank you for caring. It's only because I'm talking whilst working and the microphone is right next to my mouth and is a Rode mic. Appreciate your caring.
Awesome tree! 👍
I'm really pleased with it 😊
So glad I found your channel. I have an Olive tree that I bought at least 4 years ago honestly don't remember when exactly, its flowered and had olives every year so far, but the last few weeks its leaves are yellowing and going into clumps and look like they might drop (We have had insects gluing them in the past but I cant see what is wrong this time) I was getting ready to cut it down but after seeing this video, hoping I am not too late to replant...
May need some fertilizer. Wouldn’t do much but just a little slow release. Unless you’ve fertilized it then you may have done too much. Seems it could use some extra nutrition. ♥️
Thanks very much for your lesson. I’m worried about your breathing. Have you had a check up lately.
Hello. Bought a beautiful olive tree full of flowers today and found your channel as I was looking for advice. Great channel and just subscribed. Lots of information that I needed.
Can olive tree be sterile? Bought a small plant from Eden Project in Cornwall 20 yrs ago. It hasn’t produced a single flower. So fed up and I want to compost it. Please advise. Thank you.
I got my approx 100year old tree it is in a pot we got it 3 years ago it did thrive but this week we noticed it started to drop leaves google it as we all do and I found smtg about "olive scab" is that something I may need help with
The tree it's in a big plastic pot 100 cm diameter,we always used olive feeder for growth but now we are panicking as we don't want to lose if.
The foliage it's very pale and some yellow leaves and marks on them,and they drop easy if touched.
Any advice
Hi mark firstly thank you for your great and informative videos. I need your advice please, I have have two olive trees from small and now much larger, I’ve noticed (and now understand from your videos ) that I’m over watering. We are now in June would I be able to give them an overhall like you have … trim, drainage etc now or do I need to wait until March ? I’m just over the border in wales not far from you so our climate is similar. Appreciate your advice many thanks Alison 🌿😊
?
Hi Alison. If they were mine I would definitely do it now. I feel there is plenty of growing season left to refresh themselves. I would prune a third of the foliage off. And because there will be tender new leaves and branches I would consider wrapping in horticultural fleece in winter.
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK hi Mark, much appreciated thank you😊
What do you think about Air Pots for olives, Mark? They are fantastic for eucalyptus and a host of other plants. Thank you for your amazing content. So sorry about dear Simba.
Great content Mark! How long will it take for those small ones behind you to get the trunk girth of the reject you bought?
Thank you. The honest answer is I don't know. But it's got to be a fair few years wouldn't you say? That's why that reject was such a bargain at £40. Mark
Are olive trees happiest planted or potted in a container?
Hi Mark, just brought an olve tree and I replanted in a half wine barrel is this ok? Thank you love you channel 😊
Yes I believe that will work perfectly, assuming there is good drainage. Thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciate your feedback. Mark
👍
Thanks Stephen
Hi Mark, this is exactly the advice I was looking for. I have a similar sized olive tree which I have tried to rescue. ( The leaves were all dry a crusty when I got it, as the person who owned it had it indoors and it wasnt well watered in a large plastic pot). I have trimmed off all the dead wood, dried twigs and repotted as instructed. Its been over 2 months, the bark is solid and green when i scratched the surface to check...but no new leaves!! Is there anything I can do? Grateful for any advice! 🙏
sorry I missed this comment, my reply would have been simply to wait, is there any progress in the meantime? mark
Very interesting video , but wondered if John Innes as part of mix would be worth considering ?
Yes I think definitely. So long as it is free draining. Mark
Your olive tree videos are great! Do you know if they air layer easily?
Hi Angie. Thank you. I honestly don't know. I think i may need to try an experiment though.... 😊
I am so happy I came across your channel. It's so informative. I would be grateful if I could maybe pick your brain about repotting my first olive tree. Or maybe I could get some advice from your subscribers:)
It's about 10-15 years old, around 2 metres high. I am already in love with it. My husband bought it for me along with a terracota pot. Unfortunately, he did not listen when I mentioned that it should be substantially bigger that the 50 cm plastic one the tree is in. And as a result, it is only slightly bigger than the plastic one, maybe 2-4 cm wider...I obviously tried to get a bigger one and I visited most of the garden centres in my tiny country (Luxembourg), but found no teracotta pot big enough for the tree.Yes , there are plastic ones that are big enough for my tree, but I feel like plastic is not an ideal solution for any plant, especially not for an olive tree.I checked the internet and it appears the terracota pots in the size I need cost around 200 euro plus. Now, I would be happy to spend this money , If I knew my olive tree survives, but since I am just starting my journey, I am hesitant about it. But I have to make the decision as I think now is the high time I repotted my tree.
So I am left with four options:
1. To buy the expensive huge terracota pot, repot, and hope for the best.
2. To buy a huge plastic one with big drainage holes and see how the tree is doing in it over the next year. If it survives , replace it with the terracota one.
3. To switch the original plastic pot with the terracota one my husband bought and wait until next year. I know it won't give the tree more space to grow, but at least it's going to be healthier for it.
4. To leave it as it is until the next spring , as some of my friends suggest.
The climate here is somewhat similar to the UK when it comes to rain . However, my south-west facing terrace , where the tree is supposed to live can be very hot in summer.
Thanks to everyone for any suggestions.
Hi there. Congratulations on your Olive Tree and thanks for your lovely comments. I've been thinking about your question about pots and here are my thoughts. You only need to worry about the pot when the olive shows signs of stress. And when it is time to repot, it doesn't need to go into a significantly larger pot. I had olives in plastic pots for several years and they did absolutely fine - although my ideal preference is terra cotta. I have an early olive video where my olives went into plastic and thrives - but the drainage was enhanced very much. Why not wait a little while. See how your olive does. Then at the start of the growing season report into a slightly larger pot made from terra cotta? Add grit or perlite for drainage. Don't over water. Would that be reasonable? Mark
Watch this is you have chance, all plastic, seemed ok. ua-cam.com/video/-sCJ83n529E/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for such a detailed answer. You've helped me a lot. I am truly grateful.
Now I feel tempted to check whether there is enough drainage in the present pot:) It's been raining for ages here.
May I ask what you mean by the start of the growing season? Do you mean late April?
Thank you:)
Yes in the UK that would be the case. But essentially when it is showing signs of being alive after winter (little leaf buds etc). Thanks again. Mark
Thank you Mark. It means my tree is has definitely entered the growing season . It has a lot of new leaves as well as some flower buds (???). From now on I will be following your channel to keep up with any news on your olive trees:)
Hi. I see from one of the other comments that somethone has had vine weevils in with their Olive tree. I have too. About a month ago I repotted my Olive hopefully getting rid of the weevils and treating the compost. I then hard pruned the Oliver. As yet there is no sign of new growth, 😢 so I will be very interested to see how your hard pruned tree comes along.
Hi Pauline. Sorry to hear about your weevils. I may do some research into this and make a little video. What are your thoughts on the large cuttings? Do you think they'll take? Mark
Ps. The new growth takes a while. But when it arrives there's no stopping it? In my experience. Mark
Nice videos Mark, I got vine weevil in two of my 3 olive trees, did you ever got thoose? Grtz and success fot the future.
Hi dimi. Thank you. I haven't had vine weevil yet. But i have heard of plate insect infestation. How did you treat the vine weevil? Mark
Not yet 😉
Can you make 2 airlayerings on the main trunk with about 10 Inches distance between them ?
I bet you probably can. I would give it a go if that's what you are thinking of doing. Let me know. Best wishes. Mark
I’m confused. Do we need to use both perlite and vermiculite?
Hi sorry to confuse. Just perlite. Vermiculite is more water retentive. Mark
What type of olive tree is this as I have one as well iam in Vancouver Bc Canada zone 8b
Hello. And hello vancouver, I've visited there. Beautiful place. This is the europa type of olive. Thank you for watching. Mark
No handkerchief ?
Don't understand the handkerchief reference
Beautiful tree's but in Ireland they're very expensive to buy.
That's interesting. I paid around £40 for this as a 'reject' how much would you say in Ireland? Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK In Ireland I would still be looking at €80 to €100 for a tree like that and healthy tree's could be as much as €400
@@Peterharte73 saw some in Aldi for 25€. Nothing like the size of this but still get you started.
@@tonymulreid6347 must try but past purchasing of Lidl or Aldi plant's didn't fair well
I've just bought 2 Olive trees in Homebase £145 each but very well established both measuring 9.5 inches round the trunk..the label said they came from Spain...just about to re-pot so need to find some cheap terracotta pots
