"Martin Sykes" wrote "David WE Roberts" wrote My issue is my Olive tree in a pot. Over a normal winter I would expect to leave it outside, but long term harsh conditions may not suit it. The guy was probably referring to the announcement by metcheck.com. I read their follow-up blurb and actually it was only a degree or so colder than recent years so even if they're right it's nothing to worry about. I'd bring the olive in now. The heat won't hurt it but the cold probably wouldn't either. I think it's the wet which does it. I put mine in my unheated greenhouse over winter here in Cheshire and it's been fine so far despite dropping to a few degrees below zero a number of times. Martin & Anna Sykes I said exactly the same to my friends when they asked me if their trees (large ones left over from an exhibition) would survive outside. They don't have room to bring them in except up three narrow steep flights of stairs. I told them out the wet probably being the worst enemy. I was round their house last week and noticed they've covered the top of the pots with plastic to keep the rain out ! Will this work? They are in the inner city in a courtyard so might be OK ?
