hi everyone, i'm in need of advice I have a well established Olive tree (6years). in the past I have covered it to protect from frost. do I still need to cover it or should I leave uncovered ???
I live in a semi-rural area of alsager stoke on trent. the tree is in the bottom corner of the garden with the garage to the left and a fence to the rear so it is quite sheltered.
Once it's big enough your olive tree can survive a few degrees of frost for a short while but you risk losing the ends of branches and twigs to frost damage so keep an eye on the forecast and protect it with fleece or hessian or even an old net curtain as and when necessary.
