Olive Trees: A Practical Guide to Growing, Pruning, and Harvesting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183939590)

Olive Trees is a practical growing guide for beginners and home gardeners who want to grow healthy, productive olive trees without guesswork.

This book explains how to choose the right variety, prepare soil, plant at the correct depth, manage water and fertilizer, prune young and mature trees, and understand flowering, fruit set, and harvest timing. It also covers container-grown olive trees for patios, balconies, and colder climates, with clear guidance on drainage, overwintering, pot size, and common mistakes.

Inside, you will find practical chapters on:
- choosing olive varieties and planting stock
- site, sun, soil, drainage, and microclimate
- watering, fertilizing, and first-year care
- pruning and training olive trees
- container growing and winter protection
- flowering, pollination, and fruit set
- harvesting olives and basic table-olive preparation
- pests, diseases, and problem diagnosis

This is not a decorative overview. It is a working guide for readers who want to understand what an olive tree needs, what each care step is meant to achieve, and how to make better decisions season by season.

Use it for home gardens, patios, small orchards, and practical olive tree care in warm, dry, Mediterranean-type conditions or protected container culture.
