Tropical Fruits

Olive trees anyone?

11 years ago

Hi,

Is anyone growing an olive tree? I've had mine for two years and its about a foot and 1/2 tall with many branches and leaves. I haven't yet gotten any fruit. I brought it inside for winder. Should the tree go dormant in winter. Last year I watered it all winter and leaves stayed on and green. Does any one know how long it takes tree to fruit?

Thanks,

Nancy

I overwinter mine either in the attic or garage. Both sites are bright but cool to cold in the winter. I water them very, very little in the winter. I don't think I watered them at all fro Dec. to March last year. They kept their leaves. Mine are about two feet tall. Would be bigger but I have not replanted this past growing season. Next year I will. Don't know how big they have to before flowering.

The internet says 3 years for fruit, I thought it was much longer. Your mileage may vary.
