I've poked around looking for info on black olive but it seems to be pretty thin on the ground. Does anyone have any tips for care in 6-7 usda zones in the US? I usually live is east Tennessee but I'll be keeping the tree in the Richmond VA area until December.
What I have read so far is:
1) keep it well watered
2) give it as much light as possible during the winter, but full sun is not necessary
3) humidity trays are invaluable
4) keep temps around or below "room temp"
5) if it must be indoors, give it east/west/south window facing
I will be getting a grow light soon for some of my new tropical trees, so should I throw this one under it or is a winter dormancy more important?
I guess there are quite a few questions in this post but if anyone has any experience I would be excited to hear any experience.
P.S. I'll send along some pictures when I get back in town.
