Wet and cold conditions can pose problems for olive trees, especially the less hardy varieties. So, if you’re expecting inclement winter weather, it’s worth knowing how to protect these plants to help them survive through to spring.
The good news is that once you’ve got the know-how, caring for olive trees over the cooler months is really quite simple. There are a few ways to go about it, including wrapping them up to create a barrier against frost. If your tree is in a container, moving it somewhere more sheltered may also be an option.
