olive tree in lawn
 

Hi, we just moved in a house where we have a olive tree in the front
lawn. It does look good. The leaf is yellow and falling. People told
me that olive and lawn should not be together because olive do not
live water but lawn does. They said my tree is dying. Is there any way
we can save the tree. I am in California.

Thanks,

ff

Save the tree and some money. Stop watering. Let your lawn go dormant
in the summer.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
