transplanting olive tree
 

We are growing an olive tree (2 years old) in a pot (in Sydney) but we need
to move it to a larger pot.
Does anyone know when the best time to transplant would be? We would like to
do it as soon as we can as it is part of a garden makeover but I suspect the
hot Sydney summer may not be the best time.
Thanks for any advice
Ted

Give it a good watering before transplanting (say a day or 2 before).

If the tree is in good condition, there is no reason why it cannot be
transplanted now. As long as you give it a good water after potting up. Just
don't over water.
IF you want to wait, leave it until around August, end of Winter, and do it
then.

Good luck

Hi,

I dug up two 2-year trees in September last year and put them into pots.
Both are doing well under a guava tree. I did prune some branches as soon as
I put them in pots. The trees were about 10 feet tall and flowering at that
time.
