About this plant
The olive tree has been at home in Morocco for thousands of years. Its grey-green foliage catches the light at dawn and dusk, and its habit suits every style: a clear stem and round head for a contemporary terrace, a free silhouette for a villa garden.
Our specimens are chosen for an even trunk and a dense crown. In a generous planter it anchors an entrance or a poolside; in open ground it becomes the tree the whole garden is arranged around.
Once established it asks for very little: drained soil, sun and a light prune in spring.

Care
Caring for your plant
Watering
Water deeply, then let the soil dry out fully; in open ground, one watering every ten to fifteen days is enough in summer after the first year.
Light
Full sun all day. The stronger the light, the denser the foliage stays.
Feeding
One application of organic fertiliser in spring and a second in early summer. Avoid excess nitrogen.
Temperature
Handles 45 °C as well as brief frosts down to −8 °C. Shelter young potted specimens on cold nights in Fes or Meknes.
