Olive trees are way tougher then we give them credit for. The fruit and buds cant take uch below 0C, but the trees themselves can take around 12F

Blew me away that he had potted olive trees on the patio.
Would young potted olives really survive that?

No way! I've tried three different varieties of young olives, Italian Leccino and Ascolana tenera and Croatian Oblica olive, and failed every time. Success in colder climate requires old olive tree with a lot of wood mass. Young olive trees are too thin for prolonged periods of subzero temperatures.lucky1 wrote:Blew me away that he had potted olive trees on the patio.

Here is my atempt 2008
Leccino
Oblica
winter protection
frost injuries
February 2009
Both olives was regenereted but they froze again in winter 2010 so i givet up
October 2009
Oblica
Leccino
Old olives have a chance to survive. For example old olive trees in big pots here in Zagreb survive five winters in rol without injuries.

Cool pics. We have olive trees here in NJ but not many edible ones. Either Russian Olive (all over the place) or ones that do give small olives, not sure of names.

Yes, that's what I would think.Young olive trees are too thin for prolonged periods of subzero temperatures.
And you're a 7b !
So obviously that potted Denmark olive is stone dead.
That Leccino was a pretty one, Henoh.
They were well protected and a good size too.
Makes me wonder how people got those mature ones to that size in the first place.
Thanks for the photos.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

There is a few good look a likes, and some natives from the olive family that can take much cold. My favotite look a like is Cercocarpus ledifolius. It stays evergreen.JackLord wrote:I have a Dogwood that is slowly succumbing to blight. As it is right next to the cactus and succulent sector, I would like to put an olive there. I don't care if it fruits- I hate olives. But it would look cool.
I have my doubts that it would make it though.
