Problem with Olive tree
We have been given olive tree by friends who are moving to a flat.
They purchased it from a garden centre that closed down last August and has been in the same container since, it is approx 7ft high. We water it regularly and it shows plenty of growth and there are plenty of flowers on it. The problem we are having now is several of the leaves are turning yellow and dropping off. Any ideas what is causing this. Thanks for any advice |

Thanks for any advice Probably no problem - I've just looked at mine and could say the same thing! "Evergreen" is a confusing term. "Evergreens" shed their leaves just like deciduous trees but not all at the same time! pk |

If they are the oldest leaves only, that is probably normal. If younger ones are doing it, check that you aren't overwatering it. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Problem with Olive tree
mine is also doing this (but mine does have scale insect so I assumed that
this was causing it). -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |
