By braiding together the stems of two organic arbequina olive plants, our creative gardener has fashioned a hardy, endearing symbol of peace - an olive tree topiary. More than simply decorative, the topiary produces abundant tiny white flowers in summer and olives by November. Terra cotta pot included. Grow indoors or outside. TREE 24", POT 9"D X 8"H

Light: As bright as possible but avoid excess heat. Outdoors they enjoy full sun. A warm location with morning sun or filtered bright light throughout the day is ideal.
Water/Fertilizer: Water daily through hot spells and every other day in the spring and fall. As needed in the winter. A well balanced liquid fertilizer should be used monthly.
Pruning: Flowers will appear from small shoots that originate where the leaves meet the stem. Flowers in the spring, harvest in the autumn. If too much new growth is produced at the branch tips, don't be shy about cutting it back to a lower position to shorten the trees height. Planting in a larger container is the easiest way to keep the plant healthy. Remove the tree from its pot, during winter, every 1-2 years and remove about 1/3 of the roots. Re-pot with a blended potting soil. This will encourage new roots and keep it growing happily.
Winter: Keep the tree from cold temperatures in a bright location during the winter. Depending on your location, you could leave it outside in a frost-free area. As old leaves fall off, fertilize regularly to create new growth and keep the tree productive.
