Is my olive safe now it’s Mediter-raining?
I’m worried about my olive tree in a pot now the weather has turned. Does it need to come inside? – Rupert, London DAVID: Olive trees can be vulnerable during the winter months. Rainwater and snow melt can affect them.
Move your olive to a sheltered area away from strong winds and ensure the container has good drainage.
Lay the pot on its side to unblock drainage holes, then place on pebbles or pot feet.
