Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist, allowing partial drying between waterings. Avoid waterlogging.

Pruning: Prune in spring and summer to control growth and encourage new shoots. Remove dead or poorly positioned branches.

Fertilization: Feed regularly in spring and summer with a balanced or olive-specific fertilizer; reduce in autumn and stop in winter.

Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining mix such as akadama, pumice, and coarse sand.

Blooming: The beauty of Olea europaea “sylvestris” lies in its trunk texture, subtle leaf sheen, and harmonious form — a symbol of endurance, tradition, and patience.
