In this book, Steven Biggs, horticulturist and award-winning founder of [...], brings together the fundamentals of growing olives, techniques for growing plants where they're not hardy, and best practices for olive trees in pots. By understanding what your olive tree needs and how to adapt that to container gardening, you'll be set up for success.

  • Choosing the right location for your potted olive tree to thrive.
  • How to pot and repot your olive tree-and what you need to know about selecting a suitable potting soil.
  • Step-by-step pruning, so that your olive tree looks great and gives you olives.
  • What you need to know about flowering and fruiting...so you get olives.
  • How to conquer winter and keep your potted olive tree healthy, even if you don't have a greenhouse.

Steven Biggs has worked in horticulture for over 25 years. He's been growing exotic crops in pots for over 20 years. In this book, he tells you the key things you need to know to successfully grow an olive tree in a planter or pot.
