I have a hardy olive bush in the conservatory. It appears to be losing
a lot of leaves recently. Is this normal at this time of the year?


How are you watering it?


I probably water it about once week when the compost is looking dry with
a Baby Bio general feed.

I was doing that last year and it survived the summer (if you can call
it a summer) in the conservatory.

The plant does drop quite few leaves, but I thought for this time of
year, it was excessive?
