I hope this is the right forum for this thread.

I got the olive in the photo yesterday. I confess to an exaggerated fondness for these trees, going back to the first time I saw an olive grove.

My first goal is to keep it alive, healthy and thriving.

What advice do you have for a novice olive-grower? When do I take action beyond watering and feeding this tree?

I have three or four olives and I've had a lot of fun with them. They can be cut back and they will bud back nicely. The grow pretty fast, too. I grow my olives in the ground or large growing pots, and train them while they are still in the ground.
