Miniolea Olive Trees – 50mm pots

Description

Miniolea is a versatile, compact tree that is self-fertile and comes into bearing in its second year.  It is very productive and reliable in both warm and cold climates.

It can be maintained as a dwarf tree around 2m with pruning.  As a low vigour tree, it  isperfect for growing in a large pot and also makes and excellent fruiting hedge.

Miniolea has been selected by Australis Plants after many years of research to identify adaptable varieties that fruit reliably in both warm and cold climates for home gardens throughout Australia.

We suggest that initially you plant the olive trees into larger pots and grow them on for three to four months before planting in the garden. In the pots, we recommend only using premium potting mix with some added controlled release fertilizer (Osmocote/ Nutricote etc). Garden soil is not suitable for use in pots.
Once the plants reach around 40 cm tall they are ready to plant in the garden, you will need to keep weeds away from the tree and initially water every couple of days or so to ensure that the roots are kept moist. Mulching around the plant and protecting it with a tree guard is recommended.

We ship trees early in the week to help ensure they get to most destinations before the weekend.

Please note: due to quarantine restrictions plants cannot be sent to Northern Territory, Tasmania  or Western Australia.
