How Often Do Olive Trees Need Watering? Follow This Simple Guide for Best Results!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Alright, folks, let’s talk about my little experiment with olive trees. So, I got this idea in my head that I wanted to grow an olive tree. Seemed like a fun project, you know? I mean, who doesn’t like olives? But here’s the thing – I live in a place where it gets pretty dry, and I wasn’t sure how much to water these things. So, I decided to do a little test.

Watering Deeply

First off, I got myself a couple of olive saplings – one for the ground and one for a big pot. I planted them, gave them a good drink, and then started my watering routine. Now, I read somewhere that olive trees don’t like having wet feet. They prefer a deep watering once in a while rather than a little sprinkle every day. So, I started off by watering them deeply once a week. I’d let the water soak in until it seemed like the ground couldn’t take any more.

Checking the Soil

But then, I thought, “How do I really know if they’re getting enough water?” So, I started doing this little trick where I’d stick my finger into the soil about two inches deep. If it felt dry as a bone, I figured it was time to water. If it was still damp, I’d hold off. It was a bit of a guessing game at first, but I got the hang of it.

Adjusting for the Season

Now, when summer rolled around, things got real hot and dry. I noticed the soil was drying out quicker, so I bumped up the watering to twice a week, at the most. I mean, I was trying to keep them happy, but not drown them, you know?

Sunlight, Sunlight, Sunlight

Also, I found that these trees are crazy for sunlight. I mean, they just soak it up. I made sure they were in a spot where they got at least six hours of direct sunlight, especially in the morning. That seemed to make a big difference. It’s essential to keep olive trees in direct sunlight, even during the winter months. So, this is how I arranged my olive trees to be exposed to the sunlight all day long.

Winter Time

When winter came, I cut back on the watering even more. I read that they don’t need as much water when it’s colder, so I went down to maybe once every couple of weeks.

The Results

Here’s what I found out: My olive trees are doing pretty well! The one in the ground seems to be thriving. It’s grown a lot, and the leaves look healthy. The one in the pot is doing okay, too, but it’s not growing as fast. I think it might be because the roots don’t have as much room to spread out, and I might be overwatering it.

My Two Cents

So, if you’re thinking about growing an olive tree, here’s my advice:

  • Don’t overwater them. They don’t like it.
  • Check the soil before you water. If it’s dry, give them a drink. If not, wait.
  • Give them plenty of sunlight. They love it!
  • Pay attention to the seasons. They need more water when it’s hot and less when it’s cold.

It’s been a fun little experiment, and I’m learning as I go. I hope this helps you out if you’re thinking about growing your own olive tree. Happy gardening, everyone!
