Default Wintering an Olive Tree



I do not have a greenhouse or conservatory and would like to know
where indoors would be the best place to keep our young olive tree
during the winter/cold weather.



Somewhere with light that isn't damp but is just above freezing and not too
hot. Don't water it unless it's dry and when you do water it, make sure all
the water drains away. Consider its origins is the best method.
As I so often do when unusual plants are involved, I have to ask you if you
asked for, or were offered, instructions when you bought this tree? They can
and do survive in UK but I don't think anyone would call them 'easy'.
