Tips

a. Plant resistant to low temperatures;

b. Resistant to cold drafts;

c. It produces fruit (ripening from September to March) based on the type of plant that will be chosen;

d. Good ability to resist diseases.

1. Peacock's eye (yellow-brown spots) present on the upper side of the leaf. Treatment: Bordeaux mixture (100GR/120GR X 1LT WATER) 2 times in 15 days.

2. Cochineal (appears as cotton balls on leaves and eaten flaps). Treatment: White oil (IN SUMMER 150ML/1LT WATER-IN WINTER 200ML/1LT WATER) 1 time.

3. Lepidoptera and/or whitefly (the leaves or fruit are nibbled or punctured). Treatment: Decis or Deltamethrin derivatives (15ML/1LT WATER) 2 times in 10 days.

N.B.: None of these diseases can lead to the death of the plant but to obtain maximum vigor or production from the plant it is advisable to treat it quickly. To carry out a good treatment, avoid the hot hours of the day and in the absence of rain and wind.

The most common diseases, previously listed, mainly derive from stress suffered by the plant itself (too much water - weeding near the plant - urine of some animal - too much fertilizer - wrong pruning etc ...).

It is important to consider that an olive tree does not require a particular quantity of water except when it is planted or repotted.

Therefore, to reduce the risk of disease, it is recommended to give little water (giving water 1 time every 20 days is sufficient, and in case of rain, start counting the days from scratch).

If the plant has received too much water, the tips of the leaves will be brown, so stop watering it immediately and use products to protect the roots.

To correctly carry out the planting operation, it is necessary to prepare a hole with a variable depth of 35/50 cm and a diameter of 100/200 cm based on the size of the chosen plant.

Then place some soil at the bottom of the hole in order to create a soft and fundamental layer for root drainage.

Place the plant's root ball inside it and make sure that approximately 30% of the root ball remains above the garden level (HILL EFFECT).

Then begin to water the roots abundantly and then cover the rest of the hole. This operation is necessary so that the air pockets that have been created inside the hole are removed. This helps to give the plant itself greater strength for rooting.

HOLE DIMENSIONS (obviously the root ball is smaller)

Fertilization for an olive tree is not of primary importance as for other plants. The important thing is to respect the correct methods and times. If a slow release chemical fertilizer (N-P-K) is used, fertilization is carried out between May and July with the dose indicated in the package. Organic fertilizer (manure) can be used from March to September without particular contraindications and dosages.

Pruning of olive trees for ornamental purposes must be carried out in sufficiently warm periods from May onwards and in any case no later than August (the same must be carried out with clean and well-sanitized scissors). For productive purposes, if temperatures permit, pruning can be carried out from mid/late April. It is important to eliminate all the suckers that appear at the base of the plant (they take away food from the plant itself).

Delivery is carried out within 15 working days after purchase and payment (the courier will notify you the day before delivery with the arrival time).

The courier, at the time of delivery, will unload the plant or plants on the customer's property if it is possible to access them or in areas near the possible residence (roadside) or in a convenient place or in a place agreed upon previously at the time of the order (different destination from invoicing).

The plant will not be planted but rather unloaded with a hydraulic tail lift and moved with a pallet truck.

The customer will be responsible for planting it. If during transport, the plants suffer slight injuries that do not jeopardize the good state of health of the plants themselves (and therefore barring major breakages), the plants will still be delivered to the customer.

The olive tree guarantee is equal to n. 2 years in total, whether the plant is planted by one of our operators, by an external gardener or by the customer himself.

For the validity of the aforementioned guarantee it is essential that if the plant should, over the course of the two years, show problems, the company must be promptly informed in order to intervene quickly by telephone. If the customer decides to turn to external consultants or technicians to resolve problems, through treatments or cures, the warranty automatically lapses.
