HOW DO I CHOOSE AND ORDER A TREE?
Initially, you can contact us through this webpage letting us know what size and tree you are interested in. We will then be in touch to discuss the best options for your needs.
WILL YOU DELIVER MY TREE?
Most our trees are still thriving in the ground. We can assist with all aspects of the removal, delivery and replanting of the tree. We will be happy to provide a competitive quote for all your relocation needs.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY TREE?
Payment via bank transfer prior to collection or shipping of the trees.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TREE?
Our well established trees are low maintenance and very robust. All they need is occasional watering, seasonal fertilising and an annual pruning to ensure optimum health and growth.
WHAT CLIMATE, SOIL AND CONDITIONS SUIT MY TREE?
Generally, Olive Trees do best in cool winters with hot dry summers with low humidity. They are tolerant of winds, coastal salt spray, medium frosts and dry conditions.
Technically, Olive Trees love the Mediterranean climate, with ideal temperatures ranging from 21°C to 29°C. These trees are no strangers to heat, withstanding spikes up to 40°C, but they draw the line at -7°C. As you can see they will withstand anything the Queensland climate has to offer.
HOW MUCH WATER DOES MY OLIVE TREE NEED?
Olive trees in pots should be watered once a week on average. A little more in hot dry conditions. Be careful not to overwater olive trees as this can cause root rot. Planted Olive trees are quite drought resistant.
IS THERE A BEST TIME TO TRANSPLANT AN OLIVE TREE?
While there is no “best“ time to transplant an olive tree, as a general principle, trees do best to be moved when they are dormant and the weather is not severe. In Queensland this means March to June and September to December. Potted olive tress can be moved at any time.
