Grow Your Own Olives from Seed!
1. Prepare Soil: Choose well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 8.5. Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches and remove any rocks or debris.
2. Plant Seeds: Plant olive seeds in pots or directly in the ground, about 1 inch deep. Cover with soil and water gently.
3. Provide Warmth: Olive seeds germinate best in warm temperatures. Place pots in a warm, sunny location indoors or outdoors.
4. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
5. Patience: Olive seeds may take several weeks to germinate. Be patient and keep the soil consistently moist.
6. Transplant: Once the olive seedlings have grown to a suitable size (6-12 inches tall), transplant them into larger pots or directly into the ground.
7. Care: Olive trees prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Water regularly during the growing season, especially in hot weather. Prune as needed to maintain shape and encourage fruit production.
8. Harvest (Optional): Olive trees grown from seed may take several years to produce fruit. Harvest olives when they reach their mature color and size, typically in the fall.
